Right now I'm feeling ''ok'' which was unexpected (particularly today)... something today I have not been looking forward to. My h and I had a misunderstanding last night .... it's hard to talk to him after 8.00 pm He watches TV and doesn't like being interrupted It's not his fault, he's a lovely man. I think he may have high functioning ASD. I have read about it and I recognise him in many of the symptoms (the more I read, the more I recognise him in many of the symptoms).

One example is that a, to me, very distant relationship that he has with his siblings does not bother him at all.

Maybe this bothers me so much as I do not have siblings. I had 2 half ''siblings'' who cut me out of their life with no explanation Given their parents (my step maternal unit was very abusive to me and later on to my father at times too.... he is extremely Narcissistic but her abuse seemed to silence him at times...) ... anyway given who their parents were I guess I can put their total neglect down to ''consider the source''.... I had thought we got on quite well when they were younger They cut me out at a particularly bad time (mother had cancer)

Someone on another board had suggested ''can't you JUST send them a Christmas card''.... NO. (the caps in ''just'' are mine.......) I had already sent them several (many?) Christmas cards, with no response. I do not know their address now anyway. Although they know our address since we have not moved for a long time (15 plus years) We like it here, the neighbours are ok and our house is surrounded by trees.

The neighbours in our last house were neighbours from hell....
