I have been married to my partner for 18 years and we have 3 children. My partner has always been interested in gaming more so than me and we went on holiday and he bought a new camera and spent hours staring at it, playing with it and even took it to the dinner table with him. He gets extremely stressed in certain situations to the point he takes it out on me. We only figures out he was autistic after having an autistic child. He has got worse as our relationship has gone on...mainly though realising he is autistic. He is kind, never goes out, always at home, but he lacks natural affection, somedays I feel very alone as he fails to talk more than 10 sentences in a day. I wonder what it is like to be with someone that shows interest in me and chats to me.
I pray for you. You are describing me as well and I have really let my wife down, now that we no longer have our busy jobs. Finding a mutual interest is very difficult.
I was interested in cameras and had all the developing, darkroom stuff, then went digital, but now it's all about the artistry and very high def. Just talking - about anything helps.
And working out plans with your children to achieve their potential is what could and should be your focus (in my opinion)
