    It's lonely being married to a man with Aspergers Syndrome

    I came back on here after months of being absent to ask for prayers for my stomach knotting chronic anxiety, and stumbled on this post. I've posted off and on about me and my husband's difficult marriage. I won't rehash stuff, but earlier this year, we both concluded that he has Asperger's. It...

    What's on your mind?

    I'm so glad you were able to move out Nerdgirl123 :). And I'm sure that peace you feel will help you move forward. I know I love my husband, but I have very little desire to be anything more than friends and roommates and have felt this way for most of the year. I'm still deciding on whether...

    Loneliness

    I'm quiet but enjoy being around people. It was awkward this last time though, but that's due to just not being around many people this year in general due to covid. I work at home full time and have been struggling being here and around him all the time with not many others to talk to. I'm not...

    Loneliness

    I know many people are struggling with loneliness this year, but how do I deal with this as a married woman? My husband has always been hard to talk to on deeper levels. Since I got married, friends are few and far between. It's been especially hard since we are separated but still living...

    Depression

    I've battled depression in the past. It's been pretty bad lately. Today was my birthday, and with everyone going on this year, just wasn't the same. I'm also in limbo with my husband. He wants to work things out, I want out of the abusive marriage. But right now is a difficult time to act on...

    Is This Normal?

    Funny, my husband uses the term bust my chops too. Never heard it until he brought it up. I'm too nice (his words) and when I occasionally do bust his chops, he lashes out at me since he can't handle it. He is very reactive, which is scary for me. I'm super sensitive which doesn't help. I...

    Prayer for Possible Reconciliation

    I filed for divorce from my husband earlier this year due to possible infidelity and emotional, verbal, and mental abuse. He is doing better, but I'm scared that past behaviors that have never gone away will come back. I can tell he is holding back since I got the law involved in my marriage. I...

    Is This Normal?

    Is it normal to feel so anxious around your significant other to feel sick to your stomach and in knots? I'm thinking of reconciling with my husband, but I've started feeling so anxious with worry that its making me sick. I felt this way off and on since we've been married. Since I emotionally...

    Headship, Anger and Intimacy in new Marriage

    I am so sorry you are going through this. What you said about your husband acting worse when you stand up to him stood out to me. I was a behavior therapist to children with autism a few years back. When I would "challenge" a client by reacting a certain way to change their behavior, sometimes...

    Divorce is not the unforgivable sin

    I am so sorry you are going through this fbow and want to let you know you are not alone, although I'm sure it feels like you are. I have been emotionally, verbally, and mentally abused during my 5 year marriage. When we went to counseling a few years ago, our counselor casually mentioned to me...

    This can't be normal when arguing

    Leave NOW with your kids, no matter how hard it is, and get a good lawyer. I was verbally abused before filing for divorce from my husband earlier this year, but he never threatened to kill me. Leave before it gets worse, for you and your kids.

    Living as Roommates

    For most of this year, my husband and I have been living as roommates. I filed for divorce, but that was put on hold due to the virus. Now that I finally told my husband I want a divorce and filed, he is finally the man I had always hoped he would be. But I have no desire to be any more than...

    30 and don't think I want kids (but feel bad about it)

    I never had a strong desire to have children. I've worked with kids for years and love it, but also love coming home to a quiet place. I turned 40 last year and am now reconsidering having kids. I've been trying to be honest with myself and if I wasn't in an abusive marriage I would have...

    Prayers and/or suggestions

    I am sorry you are going through something that you do not want. The two above are correct though. Maybe try to go through the divorce as amicably as possible. You two had a child together, and people have remarried each other after divorcing. I filed for divorce from my husband in January...
