    Living with an Aspie

    Things have improved quite a bit since I posted last. My wife eventually attended one of my Aspergers Support Group meetings earlier this month and had a chat with the facilitator (after the considerable sacrifice of cutting off my long hair and shaggy beard...a long story) She now acknowledges...

    Self-Diagnosis: At what point do you decide you're an Aspie?

    Same boat but part of me wonders if I'm actually a narcissist and choosing the Aspie label because it puts some of my traits in a better light (from my perspective). What if these meltdowns I sometimes experience (bouts of anger) are actually narcissist rage? Another expression I'm exploring is...

    Living with an Aspie

    I'm not sure I can blame this on an Aspie trait but I have completely messed up the title of this book!!? It is actually called WHAT YOUR HUSBAND ISN'T TELLING YOU by David Murrow. Sorry about that.

    Living with an Aspie

    I finished reading it yesterday. All I can say is that I identify with being an Aspie and the problems I'm having are very similar to those described in the book. I've read elsewhere that Aspies have an exaggerated male way of thinking so the examples in the book could be very relevant. I'm not...

    Living with an Aspie

    Not too sure if this is relevant to this discussion but I just finished reading a book that really does resonate with me. Not written specifically about Aspies but maybe helpful for those who are trying to understand their man. DO YOU REALLY KNOW YOUR HUSBAND? by David Murrow. I'm trying to get...

    Living with an Aspie

    Audra you may be right. There could be something else. After my fine words of yesterday I still find myself sitting in my PJs. School has finished, mum and boys are on there way home yet I have accomplished nothing. Nada. I sincerely want this relationship to continue yet I don't seem able to...

    Living with an Aspie

    Things have changed a bit now that my wife is more willing to share what's going on in her life. Rather than the continual complaining about my inactivity which was making me withdraw from family life. The more I withdrew from her and my responsibilities the more she complained a cycle which was...

    Living with an Aspie

    Thanks motormouse. The roster was a good idea! We ended up seeing a counsellor who also suggested creating a roster. Included in the roster is a "date night" which gives me an incentive to keep my end of the bargain. We are slowly coming together again and I am understanding a bit more the...

    Living with an Aspie

    Wow. It's school holidays here. So I took the opportunity to talk to my wife and when I recognised the "the heard it all before" routine I suggested we write it down. Anyway in my "aspie" way I then swung my total concentration onto this topic...even though we had a guest staying overnight...for...

    Living with an Aspie

    Thanks for your response. What you say does strike a chord. I kinda know she wants those chores done but for some incomprehensible reason I keep putting them off. It seems fairly petty behaviour on my part. There's obviously lots of unresolved resentment on both sides that needs to be sorted...

    Living with an Aspie

    Thanks. Simple and doable. Might work. At the very least we'll have a list of what's bugging each other. xx

    A desperate cry for advice and guidance.

    I recognise some of what you say in my situation. When reading your account it sounds quite strange but the facts are not to dissimilar to mine own. I seem to have this unjustified feeling of entitlement which I refuse to let go of. Like you I have self-diagnosed myself as Aspergers as it...

    Living with an Aspie

    Thanks for the reply. I talk a lot but my wife prefers action. I'm starved of affection so feel resentful. She feels I don't contribute enough to the family/relationship so she also feels resentful. I have decided to let my facial hair grow which makes me feel more relaxed but this does not meet...
