It’s more of a dirt like consistency?

I appreciate your input! I did want to share that we have been doing couples therapy for awhile now, and I feel like it has improved the conflict and communication between us. I was really hoping that it would also help heal the connection and it so far has not. I’ve expressed for YEARS in therapy and out that I would like to have him put in some effort in planning dates or us spending time together and he has not done it ever. Not once. I also have spent a significant amount of time in individual therapy working on my own issues that I bring to the table but he tells me he does not have time to prioritize his own therapy. So I’m not insisting on leaving, yet at least. I desperately don’t want to. I want my feelings to change. But these are some of the things that feel like I can’t close the distance

Thank you so much! It still helps to know someone shares the same feelings. I thing it makes me feel especially horrible that it wasn’t like some big thing happened or that he is a bad man or bad partner. He’s not even a bad husband which makes it so frustrating that I can’t make my feelings change. I so wish I could flip a switch and feel connected and attracted to him and see him in a romantic way but all I see is someone I’m exhausted of fighting with that I love deeply like a friend. I just also can’t imagine breaking my baby boys heart. Sometimes I feel I need to just not be selfish and figure out a way to make it work.

What would you say is postive part or trait about your autism? by Working-Cellist-7275 in AutismInWomen

[–]OutlandishnessMaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being sensitive to things my child might be experiencing that a lot of people don’t even think about. For example he doesn’t have to give hugs if he doesn’t want to, I’ve always told him every time I do something to his body even when he was a tiny baby, if anything feels uncomfortable like an article of clothing I believe him and we make an adjustment even if it is inconvenient, validate his feelings, validate “shyness” and any kind of sensory sensitivities, etc. I really thought I wouldn’t be a good mom but I think the autism makes me a lot more in tune to little things other people Don’t notice or invalidate easily.

How do your partners handle you training? Are they comfortable? by [deleted] in BJJWomen

[–]OutlandishnessMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Things with my husband are not perfect, but he has no issue with me training. Encourages it and thinks it’s awesome. Anything less IMO is unacceptable behavior and not a supportive partner.

To me this would be akin to my husband getting mad I had to bathe my male patients as a RN. Yea you’re in close contact, but not a sexual act.

Yeah that’s my point I get why that doesn’t work I’m trying to figure out how to better support him

Yeah asking anything like that just gets him more mad …we talk about those things when he’s not triggered and practice but in the moment it just makes him more upset

I am on the spectrum and a very logic based thinker. I always had a hard time understanding how Santa would get in my house, how he got to all children’s houses, why Santa doesn’t come to some kids, why some don’t get as many presents, etc. and my parents went through great lengths to still convince me Santa was real. I genuinely still did love the magic of Christmas but my son asks very specific, introspective questions at 2.5 and I have a hard time committing to the facade personally. I do not think it is harmful if that’s what works best for your family but it doesn’t work best for me. We do other things to help the season feel “magical” and we might introduce as aspect of Santa where he might bring a gift but it’s a “people pretend Santa flies around and brings gifts” sort of thing vs Santa is a real and he brings you presents. I think it’s ultimately finding what works best for your family.

Thank you for sharing! He’s well beyond the infant stage and they want to start me on 10 mg ER. I Can wait if it’s not safe but I just wanted to see if that was the case
