Hi, I'm looking for some advice. I've been with an aspie man for 15 years now. We've tried so hard to remain in a romantic relationship. I'm an NT and we have spent years before and after diagnosis attempting to make things work. The constant issue is I need to feel 'connected' emotionally to my partner. I take on lots of life's stressors to reduce his stress but he is unable to support me emotionally and I feel overwhelmed at times. We have 2 children and I work. Is anyone out there able to find emotional support or intimacy or connection? I've almost given up. Life as friends may be our only way forward.

Bothers me to read your poignant question un-answewed after a year and a half.
If your position is somewhat the same, take a look at "_Love and Dating" and see "UNDERSTANDING INIMACY", colina. Maybe something useful--maybe. let me know.
