There is a scene in the movie 'Unbreakable' where David Dunn's (Bruce Willis' character) wife asks him if he intentionally keeps her and their ... |

| From my reading it sounds as if he see's this as your diagnosis, your problem and you need to make the changes. Unfortunatly that is not going to work for your progress, his or ANY marriage for that matter. A marraige is all about give and take just because you have a diagnosis doesn't not mean that... |

| I think its good you want to be supportive, but you also need to be realistic. I suggest sitting down together and going over your expectations of each other. Let him know what YOU need. Maybe since you suspect he's AS, making a family schedule would be good. My daughter lives by ritual. Maybe sche... |
