Well.. there's the whole beleif system.. I can't just throw that away because I mad a stupid descision in who I married. Funny thing is that I went against my religious beleifs TO marry him

. He's a different type of Christian and mine beleives 'marry only in the lord' means only in our particular denomination. So my family and my pastors and everyone counseled me against it but I married him anyway and here I am!

I appreciate irony.
I don't know what he is. I'm not entirely convinced there isn't something neurologically wrong with him. He has some AS tendencies like not being very sociable, needing to recharge after social events, being very analytical - 'logical", ect. But he is always explaining to me the need to be careful how I word things and of my voice tones and explaining social rules to me and I know that he specifically words things and acts in certain ways to get specific responses from the reciever so that seems to exclude AS.
We don't understand eachother at all. That is pretty much how I wound up on this site. I was looking for ways to learn how to communicate better because I can't communicate with him at all. In fact, although I always felt I was autistic and always had certain signs, I wouldn't say AS has caused me many problems until I got married. I had huge social phobias but I was able to push past them and make something of my life. But communicating with him is just not something I seem to be capable of. I can't understand him and he doesn't undersand me.
I was trying to feel better about him lately so I went and found an old email that I had written years ago to my best friend about why I loved him, to try to remind myself of how it used to be. Of the reasons I listed to my friend, None of them are true anymore!!
So needless to say, that letter didn't help.
Cool. Oh wow, sorry you don't talk to her much. You should find out if she has moved.
Thats interesting. How do you mean different type? What does he's type believe in? Well I think risks have to be taken when it comes to love! Sorry it hasn't exactly gone to plan.
Yeah, sounds similar to AS in some ways though. But everyone is different. And i'm not very good at diagnosing people anyway
So how come you did all this and married him, when you don't understand him? Or like you said, did he seem to be like someone else back then?
Ahh, well sorry reading that letter didn't work

I dunno, wish I knew the answer!
