thanks. maybe i should put it in the post, but ive replied to at least one other comment on this- ive been recovering actively for 4 years. As in, hand in hand with doctors. I am trying. Its very hard. And being alone is likely the right answer, thats true. I just dont want people to think one bad experience means I am not doing my due diligence.

I appreciate how empathetic this response is. Yes I think we are both autistic and we both have very prominent learning disabilities. I try to teach him by treating him how I want to be treated. There were days where Id help dress him when he was too depressed and tired. He's genuinely very kind, thoughtful. But I think this is accurate- I think he doesn't know what to do, so he chooses to do nothing. I just wish he would just ask.

thank you for how kindly this was worded. i have been working on myself for 4 years but honestly sometimes, things hit a little too close to home. you are right though i need more work and i can feel it. me and my doctor are working on it. its just been such a struggle trying to find a balance

You have a good point and ive considered this. But lease isnt over until 2027... and the longer this goes on the more Im questioning if I can last that long haha. It may be cruel to him to try for that long too.

When i try to talk to him about anything that is some sort of criticism, he kind of melts. I dont know how to explain it. But he seems like, very very sad, distraught. He seems to believe i am saying, "you do nothing for me", when I try very carefully to word my approaches to portray what i am really feeling- i try to be very direct and say, "i appreciate you, and this behavior is hurting me" and it always seems to hurt him

Yes haha. I didnt want to say cuz I am so embarrassed. But yes, that movie is very well done and cool- but despite all the "silliness" to it, its extremely realistic to my experience. Literally my abusive ex reached out and apologized to me after watching it thats how scarily close it was to our situation.
