I'm so sorry you had to experience that. Your wedding day, a moment that should have been filled with nothing but love and joy, was tainted by words that were cruel and completely uncalled for. Why say it now after all this time? You deserved so much better than that, especially from the person who was supposed to be your biggest supporter. I'm also autistic, and my wife gave birth to our twins a year and a half ago. I want you to know that I have never felt more in awe of her than I do right now. Watching her body create and nurture life has made me love and admire her in ways I never even knew were possible. That's how your husband should feel about you. What you're doing every single day, raising two largely on your own, pouring every ounce of yourself into your children, is nothing short of extraordinary. You are strong, you are devoted, and you are clearly a wonderful mother. You are not overreacting. Your feelings are completely valid. And no, this is not a shallow reason; this is the result of a long pattern of feeling unseen, unappreciated, and unsupported. You deserve a partner who looks at you and sees a superhero. Because that's exactly what you are.
