The empathy thing is a complete modification so don't expect miracles. Sounds like he has the right person though as I do my wife
Luckily we don't disagree on much. I have had to learn to give him that time to analyze and think though, that was hard for me. I can go into borderline meltdown mode really quickly but he handles that soooo much better than other people. We are a really good match, it's kind of weird I think neither of us ever exepected to find someone we got along with so well. I think both of us having PDs helps a lot, oddly enough.
