I need a life. LOL!

So here I am eating barbecue baked beans and a wheat cracker, typing into the pc.

This pretty much sums up my every weeknight (except it could be Lean Cuisine tomorrow - living on the edge!). I wish I had someone to take a brisk walk with. Although I'm getting better, I really miss my ex on nights like this. I'd rather be cuddling with him right now.

I just checked what's on the telly and a fairly new show called The Mentalist is on later. I'll stay up to watch that then it's off to bed for me.

Have a good night (or morning), y'all.

Ah, cuddling. I remember that.

Good times. Long past.

Can't identify with the baked beans thing, but...

But you're NT. (???) Everyone is welcome around here, but I couldn't help wondering.
So I looked around and found this old thread:
"Father unaware..." http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt85594.html
I started thinking about an answer before I noticed that it was from December. Now I'm even more puzzled.

Anyway, one thing I would say to your ex is that most of us older types were happy to discover that we are Aspies.
"How did you feel when you found out you had AS?" http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt74040.html

Still, it should be his choice. You know for a fact that he doesn't want you to tell the old man. That should be the end of it.

I'm not sure why, but in your older post, I kept getting the feeling that there's some kind of power issue. I know that's true with my mother, and that it will never stop. Childhood was a living hell. After you grow up, it can be so subtle that no one else can see it, but it still can make you crazy. No amount of inheritance would make it Ok.

Has anything changed since you made that thread?

Hi Tahitiii. Can you please explain what's puzzling you? Or are you puzzled why an NT would be hanging out at a site like Wrong Planet?

When you talk about a "power issue", are you talking about an issue between my ex and his dad or between my ex and me?

My ex eventually told his dad about his suspected AS. My father in law was actually not surprised by his son's revelation. His father knew the whole time his son was growing up that there was something out of the norm with him, but could never quite pin it down. Finding out about AS is as good for my ex as it his for his father.

The most important thing that my father in law said is that his son having AS does not change the fact that he is and will always be his son. I was delighted when I heard that. I feel the same way. I told my ex after we found out that I didn't care whether he has AS. It doesn't change the fact that we made a vow to each other to always be together through thick or thin. He may not be the same man when we first got married, but he was still the man I married.

Dunno if that last sentence makes sense?

I love the Mentalist, as well as House. Do they show brand new episodes over in Britain(?), or are they delayed?

^ Delayed as with all US TV programmes aired in the UK, not by a great deal of time, still sucks though.

A lot of aspies have seen nothing but bullying and rejection from NTs... to have an NT want to spend time with aspies can therefore be puzzling to those who have never met a nice enough NT...
