My husband has Asperger’s and I’ve always wondered if really does love me. I feel as if he’s saying in his head, “ Well I guess this is what married people do is say I love you, right?” Also, I’ve noticed that when I’m in a serious conversation with him.. I can see that he is about to laugh and when I say” there you go again, laughing in my face” he will say he’s not laughing at me but the situation and laughs even more. Isn’t that emotional abuse? And I’ve also found myself pretending to be sleep when he comes home because I don’t want to talk to him. And I also hate the thought of being intimate with him nowadays because of how robotic he is but yet, he swears we share a connection while in the moment. I use to feel a connection but now I feel about as connected as Madonna is to the reality of aging.

My experience with ASD partner as he deemed it. Was sensory. And how he enjoy physical pleasure. And feeling he had those intimate moments. And enjoy more simple and silence. Mine did many things for the house. My car. But couldn’t verbals his emotions.
