Guest guest Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hi Karoline: Wow! Welcome to ASPIRES. Do you see yourself growing old with this person? Where do you see yourself or want to be six months from now? I maybe wrong, but it sounds like you are more in the role of a care giver than a partner/spouse? How can we help you? I like your website!! Best. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi. I am a new member. So glad to have found this community. Have been married 9+years to a man I'm pretty sure has Asperger's. My family and I are the only people he has, so will feel guilty leaving him. I actually married him because I felt sorry that he had no friends. Some background - I am a young 55, he is an old 61. Not my first marriage. We have never had sex (he just lies there not moving if I try and initiate anything so I gave up); he has no humor; no empathy; is very rigid and judgmental of others; cannot reach out to others (except to me); gets very upset if his routing is disrupted; and is critical of interests he doesn't care about. He only wants to talk about baseball, politics, and music. He has an incredible amount of data in his head as far as dates and baseball statistics. In addition, he only takes one shower a week and it takes him 4 hours. Don't ask how long he takes in the bathroom to defecate-- 2-12 hours!!! I write fiction and poetry (karolinebarrett.com) just to escape from my marriage. At this point, I don't know how to have a fulfilling life! I'm a Christian, but prayer hasn't helped.
