    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thanks, Sidd. You are probably spot on, and I probably know all of this is my brain, and I just keep looking for excuses, hoping that one day I will be able to make it work. He sounds so, so convincing at times about things that I have even worried that he may have some schizophrenic episodes...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thanks, Autistamatic. I'd have to agree that his behaviour points to wanting me to leave, but I don't really think this is the case. From what I can gather, he treated his wife of 30 years much worse than he treats me, but was absolutely devastated when she finally left (and perhaps still...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thank you for your beautiful post, Sidd. All that you said is so true. I'm sure his feelings for me have changed and probably because he thinks I have been 'cruel' to him, but I'm sure in a very different way to your partner was cruel to you. For example, one day without asking him I pulled a...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thanks, Autistamatic. He definitely has a controlling personality, and does think that the problem all lies with me. If I try to speak to him about any concern, he asks me why I am with him if I am so unhappy and tells me to leave if I'm so unhappy (even if it is a very trivial thing I wish to...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    I think he sees it as the end of the relationship because it is so embarrassing for him. His sister told me that he had some type of tic as a child (jutted out his jaw and made a guttural sound) but he had outgrown this. The tics are definitely worse when he is relaxed (i.e. watching...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thanks, Pat. I'm sorry to hear that you have been through such a tough relationship. I feel pretty certain that my partner cannot control his actions (though he can disguise them in company (e.g. if sitting next to him at a table of people, I am aware that he maybe moving his feet and legs...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thank you for your response - it is much appreciated (refer my response to the post above, which also relates to your post). I have often thought too that it may be associated with OCD, as it was frequently a series of actions that he would follow e.g. clear the throat, rub the chin and head...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thank you - I really appreciate your response, especially as you have experienced this type of thing yourself. I am certainly not jealous of these women and don't think that he fancies any of them - they are all lovely women, and I don't think that he would think I am jealous of them (but maybe...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    No, I cannot think of anything which caused it to happen - but it did start quite slowly and progressively got worse. I have definitely not nagged him about it and would go a good three months of totally ignoring it and making out that nothing was happening, which has seemed an odd thing to do...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    I frequently wonder the same thing and consider whether I should leave, but I figure that we all have our faults and so I try hard to make it work. He does have his good side, which I fell in love with, and he is a nice person if I am bright, bubbly and chatty 24/7 and never question anything...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Thanks, Sidd. I agree with you all that you said, but unfortunately it is not that easy. He is an extremely closed person and refuses to speak to me about anything of a personal nature. He will simply get up and leave, or if I try to speak very gently and lovingly in bed, he simply refuses to...

    Tics relating to sexual attraction

    Hello, I am new to this forum, and hope that people may be able to assist me with some of my queries and concerns. I have an Aspie partner who I have been with for 9 years, and although he very clearly has Asperger’s, and previously said that he probably did, he now completely denies this and...
