AS/NT Relationship?

Post Reply New Topic

Dated aspie, disaster but it wasn't the AS, it was him being bigoted and very ignorant and closed minded


I have seen AS/NT relationships online by people claiming to be married to an aspie. They are over at AssPartners. Honestly the same stuff the women there gripe about is the same stuff I have seen women gripe about their NT partners at Babycenter. I honestly started to think it was a guy thing (being lazy and not helping out with house hold chores or taking care of the kids and they sit around and do something when they are home and leave it all to their wives with all the work) and mom told me not all men are like that and it's not typical because my dad isn't like that nor was our neighbor or other guys she has known with my dad.

My Aspie husband and I have been married for almost 9 years. Between us, we have 4 kids, all of whom have their own interesting quirks. Being married to someone who's AS is just like being married to an NT in many ways. This is my 3d marriage, so I'm speaking from experience here. You learn the ins and outs of how to interact with your partner in the ways he/she needs, and develop a lot of patience. We're none of us perfectly average. I have to adapt to his needs for a partner, just as he adapts to mine. Only difference is, adapting is a bit easier for me. But it works. There's not another man for me in this world.
