    Being together but living apart...

    My husband and I sometimes sleep separately and for us it makes things worse. It opens the door of setting a routine when you are alone, and not trying to stay together.

    Being "bilingual"- communication between NT and ASD

    I'm in an Aspie-NT marriage. Communication is huge deal. One thing that helps me is that I have to flat out state my feelings. I can't roll my eyes, or sulk off like a lot of women do.
