what's your living situation?

Post Reply New Topic

I live with my husband and grown kids and lots of critters. Advantages are that we can bounce ideas off of each other and brainstorm. We do that a lot.

Disadvantage is that I love them all so much that I feel so vulnerable. Things could happen to them and I don't want to face the emotional pain. I didn't realize how much it bothers me to care so much and not be able to control their fates.

I never planned on bonding with another human. The man who eventually became my husband was very persistent and it paid off for him.

Talking of relying on our NT partners...I do this a lot in social situations. I'm OK talking to people once I know them but just chit-chat, small-talk, I'm really bad at. So I let my husband do that, as he's better at it than me. He talks to the neighbours while I just smile and say hi. He's the one who always answers the door, phone etc. I could do it if I had to, and I do when I'm on my own in the house, but if I can, I leave it to him. Makes me feel guilty sometimes and that I should try to be more sociable.

My current situation is with mate of 20 years and cats. My children are adults and 25 miles near, parents at 250 miles-just right. My family of oddies finds mates from other cultures. My children's father locked me in a room while he was out and divorced me when he got citizenship. Then I was alone 5 years and have great longing for that peace and never losing anything.

My mate is not neurologically typical-some have thought spectrum, but I doubt. He is psychic and hears people's thought so must avoid them as much as possible. I think I don't I radiate emotions much which he prefers and he runs away when I do get emotional. He loves me and persisted until I gave in. He provides for me financially and helps with everything around the house. I have to do all the phone and people business stuff for him which I am not so good at. I think I hoped he would tell me what people were thinking -translate?

My ideal would be to emulate my great grandparents who lived in a duplex, each with their own living quarters. I even found a 4plex so we could have some income and each unit larger that my house. Every time he rips away my library, I regenerate it and keep too much stuff so I get yelled at alot and freeze and can't do anything. Plus, can't find anything because it get shuffled boxed and moved to where I don't know where anything is. I guess my task in life is to learn to cope with this

Does god count as a housemate?

I live with my partner, my snake, and my dog. That is my prefered living situation.

For the time being with my parents.
