    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    This thread was made a few months ago when things were really, really tough and we were trying to find our way back to each other and there was alot of confusion and hurt feelings. Things have leveled out and we are back together, eyes wide open, and doing well. But, thank you.

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Hi All, I just wanted to come back and post an update. Everything is going well! We are back together, due largely in part to some of the advice of I received here. Mainly, I just paid attention to the things he DID, not the things he said necessarily and have been learning to see his love...

    Can some one physically hit autistic child

    As a general rule, I dont hit my children. BUT there was a time a few years back when I thought that physical discipline in moderation would be okay and might work. I spanked my son only twice, but it was a mistake. All it did was make him afraid of me, and with his exceptional memory, he held...

    Funny, a friend of mine said the same about the job thing. It makes sense. I'll keep that in mind.' Thx!

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Just an update here...not a whole lot has changed, but we are getting along and spending some time together. When we spoke the other day he said in a moment of frustration (when speaking about his fears) that sometimes he doesn't feel worthy. I'm not sure if he meant worthy of me or a...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Hi @wight. Thanks for checking in. Things are...eh. He was here this weekend and seemed stressed most of the time, so I dont even know why he stayed. He's still 'confused' and has no idea how to get out of this loop he's in. I was hopeful a few days ago but not so much now.

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    I do want to. I left him alone for two days, and today he reached out and askef if he could stop by to see me and the kids. He knows he's welcome anytime , but I noted he made a point of saying to see ME and the kids. That made me smile. He came in my room and we chatted for a little while and...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    I agree, we should be together. We have two children. I actually thought of that, getting back together gradually. I made a mistake leading with emotion and then getting upset. We had a few disagreements. So in his mind it's probably, "Oh, and we're fighting already, I'm hurting her already."...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    That's the key..taking the fear away. I can't do that for him. I feel like I'm pressuring him, so I've decided to fall back.

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Hi Kim, Thank you. I don't wanna give up on him, but I fear it may be too late. Five years have passed since we were married and Idk if he loves me like he did. I don't think that he understands that we can rebuild what we had. Idk if he wants to do the work. He's turning all these thoughts over...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Thank you, Fitzo. This means alot. I was really dumbfounded by a few of those comments yesterday. But I understand. I appreciate all the insight you've offered here. I've taken it all in. To answer your question, I might be open to being married to him and living apart, I THINK. At least, I'd be...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Firstly, the focus is on him here today because this is an Aspie board and I'm presenting past and present facts in order to elicit advice. Never said he was the problem, nor did I say or infer that he needed to be 100% perfect for me. What I did was paint a picture of the place from which I was...

    Hello- I'm new and at my wits end!

    Hi. My 13 year old Aspie son used to wet the bed. Sometimes nightly for months; it would come and go. I found it was related to his level of stress or anxiety. Sometime last year it just stopped. We have a solid behavior plan in place at school and at home so I think that hss reduced his stress...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    ^^^You've made some good points here, but you couldn't be more wrong about me wanting to cure him. I have an 13 yr old who was diagnosed at five, so this is not entirely new to me. I know there is no cure and and I love my son exactly as he is. And now that I have a clear picture of his dad, I...
