If this man and these videos had been around 30 years ago we would have avoided 25 years of misunderstanding and angst. But who says “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” ? These two “old dogs” have listened and learned and, in our 70s, are reaping the benefits. Thank you and God bless !

Oh gosh, every video is exactly our relationship.

I can see it. I can understand it. But now that I know, im still not sure I can stay or live like this anymore.

It's remarkable how much this man "gets it."

[marinagrabowska]

As NT woman I feel drained. This describes exactly the dynamic in my relationship. I just do not know how to live with it.

"It's nobody's fault!" So true, Mark. Thank you. It requires a lot of humility from both parties to stop the blame game. Instead, the objective should be to reach ACCEPTANCE: For the NT to adjust his or her 'conventional' expectations of the relationship, AND most importantly, ACCEPTANCE of his or her ASD partner and all that implies. May God bless neurodiverse marriages with peace, tranquility, and happiness this 2022 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you so much for this. I've been researching asbergers for my 10 year old son. And stumbled upon this partner stuff that completely explains why my relationship with his father was such a disaster despite having so much love between us.

I know several Aspies who have avoided marriage/personal relationships their whole lives.
Having listened and read so much now, on the mental trauma such relationships can cause the NT partner, I think they have chosen the right paths in staying single, not withstanding the reasons they have taken those paths.

Spot on again Mark I really wish more nt's could understand your message.

[mishaenglish]

Wow. Just Wow. Nailed it. Thank you.

I know now that he’s not a skunk (sociopath/narcissist) but what is he? A chicken whose been imitating an eagle? Maybe it’s resentment but maybe it’s just boredom I feel with him now. He doesn’t have a high level of emotional needs, okay, but I do and mutually meeting each other’s emotional needs seems to be a critical aspect of a relationship. Without that aspect, what is left? To me it’s fluff. I can take care of myself in a calmer (minus his constant anxiety) environment sufficiently. It’s just a transactional relationship.

NT’s dodge paintballs all the time also.

NTs are chaotic. They get a feeling, they don't know why, but they gotta share it and make it someone else's problem. No wonder ASDs are anxious, having to untangle NTs, when we could be solving real problems.
