Thanks for sharing and opening up about your experiences with your ex. It's pretty full on what your ex did. This is all new territory to me. I mean I teach kids with aspergers ,sure, and I have a lot of patience for them. But THIS is totally different when I'm living in a relationship with the man. And having moved in together merely highlights some of the complexity just that much more. 2 nights ago I had just lost complete and all patience. I didn't have it within me.
I think I needed to snap and I think I may have made my point with him - that I'm simply not going to put up with certain behaviours. Giving up / not helping / walking off after 2 minutes claiming he just has no idea - not good enough.
I hope this is something I can live with. Yes it's pretty annoying, sometimes, but at the same time there are still lots of endearing qualities about my partner. I really do want to make this work.
