| Withholding money isn't abusive. It's controlling. Either way it's just another unacceptable thing. I keep thinking about the child. I remember when I was three and four. I remember my parents fighting. I remember believing it was all my fault. Children that age are acutely aware of everything that ... |

| Cantora, the older I get the more certain I am that any minute spent wishing or waiting for someone to change is wasted time. So the only two choices in any relationship are to accept the situation or to disengage from it. Whatever you decide, your child needs to see you making healthy, responsible ... |

| Now that it seems highly likely that this has been the cause of my husbands behaviour I am scared of the reality of existing in a marriage with lack of intimacy and emotional support. . .Any suggestions out there? :( Well the actual diagnosis might be interesting, but it doesn't help you to deal wi... |

| LittleRed, it sounds like your relationship is broken on many levels. At this point, from what you describe, it all sounds very destructive. I hear your pain very clearly, and I feel for you, but the one thing that stands out very clearly is that no matter what happens in your relationship, this cha... |

| I've moved a lot in my life, and I've never done anything special with new neighbors, other than to wave when I see them. Once when I moved some neighbors came over to welcome me, but I found that odd and intrusive. I think in general there is no social obligation with strangers other than to be civ... |

| Hello people. I'm glad to have found you. I have been married for ten years and the probability - certainty - of an Aspergers diagnosis for my husband has just reared its head. He scored 34 on the AQ test, and it was obvious to me that something was seriously wrong for a long time. Not sure where to... |

| SWatson, I am new here and I am really relating to your post. It seems to me you're encountering a lot of unhealthy behavior, and while it's good to try to understand it, at the end of the day the question has to be whether it's acceptable to you.

I've been struggling in my marriage for ten years and have only now realized my husband probably has Asperger's. All of the symptoms fot and nothing else makes sense.
