Hello!

[Guest guest]

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.
