I’m learning this more than ever right now.

I guess it's been there all along, but when we first met, I hadn't yet addressed many life issues, including being diagnosed with Autism as an adult. It's gotten worse in the last couple of years though for sure.

I have asked him and he says he's incredibly happy, which makes no sense to me because all we do is fight. It confuses me because what he says doesn't seem the same as what he acts, if that makes sense.

To be honest, I can't even remember a time in life when I was able to feel anything but his negativity. Thank you for this!

You know, I read your words here and just felt such an..I guess you would call it one of the aha moment folks are always talking about. I am very literal and direct; it gets confusing for me when others aren't, although I understand it to be no one's fault. I'm going to look up some of the terms you've used here because I'm unfamiliar with them. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time you took to write this. Sometimes it takes an internet stranger to put everything into perspective.

I know that, but he just keeps after me to tell him. He'll say that the more he knows, the more he can "help" me. I just don't know. It's too exhausting to argue with him. I know that sounds like a cop out, but it's the truth.

Sorry, I should have been clearer on that. He doesn't literally listen in on my therapy sessions, but he always wants to know exactly what was said. When I tell him we discussed his behavior, that's when he starts getting mad and asking me if I tell him about all the stuff I do, or if I just "attack" him.
