Aspie Thoughts: Understanding Partner Loneliness

[thesaj]

One issue that is hard for me is that Kimerley often feels "alone" in our marriage. Many times I've tried to understand what's she means by this, and attempted to have her explain. To little avail.

It can be very frustrating, because I try to make contact, be there, communicate. And feel if anything, that many times I'm pushed away. So how do these

But it's not just that it's also that I don't feel I have your participation in such decisions. You don't really get involved in making a decision and if I make one you don't support it in action and kind of refuse to acknowledge it by acting the way you would if we weren't going out.

I think I lose a lot of functionality if I feel there is too much flux in plans. I'll try to be more mindful. But perhaps we can also try to work on firmer plans. That might help.
