Without her, she takes it personally... That she is not good enough. |

First, I have to say that I am a bit uncomfortable with offering up the last 8 months on a forum, so please bear that in mind. With that said, I really don't know which way is up any longer... I married my wife last October, we originally knew each other in HS. I let her go for stupid reasons, and s... |

I've been struggling with this too, got married in October. The only extraordinary facet of my situation is that my wife has had horrible asthma since we got married, she hasn't worked a solid month since then. SO, when I want to spend time with my friends, inevitably something comes up. It is frust... |

I'll ask, no worries. I didn't pose the question with the idea that I wouldn't, just curious on everyone's take. As for taking on more, too late for that. Finding out I am an Aspy just now is the cherry on top of this upheaval sundae... I didn't necessarily ask for that one, but of course I will res... |

When I was a kid, no one was a stranger. Even so, folks would -often- hurt my feelings. Some days as an adult, it is a struggle still. One of the better things I was ever told was that, 'Most folks are just struggling to survive'. We are all often stuck in our own, little world. The most fulfilling ... |

This might take a bit to explain properly... It's only taken me 25 years to figure it out... Met my best friend in HS when I was 16, I'm 41 now. For some reason I was drawn to him, he seemed to really have it together and we had so many similar values... Not long after we met, he told me that he was... |

The other is that people on the autistic spectrum are often hypervigilant, and will be acutely aware of "emotional intensity" in a room, even without being able to identify the particular emotion.

Hello All, I've been meaning to do this for nearly a month now, but I have been wrestling with a number of feelings... My wife suggested that I might have Aspergers about a month ago. We've been having a number of fights since our marriage, not all of them due to me or to my 'condition'. She teaches... |
