I am going through alot of stress trying to find us a new house and me a new job and my partner who has autism is driving me nuts. Before you all go mad lol I need to learn to be more Patient but it seems I am thinking for my partner and making every single decision in our relationship. They seem to mimic everything I do and i can't take the responsibility. My partner has lived on their own for years before me albeit a shell of themselves. To use their words. How do I know if I am being too impatient or if they have just become overly dependent on me? How much is the autism? They have a full time job and very independent with certain things so they are not in need of a professional carer. I love them so much and can't bear this feeling. We have spoken about this to no avail.
It must be very anxiety provoking to have to move to a new house and deal with change of jobs. You partner might find this difficult to cope with. Did he buy in the house move, like really.? Do you communicate enough?
Maybe your partner decided that being seen to support your every move is their best way to support you?
I have been pushed from pillar to post my whole life so am used to it. We have no choice with the move. The Mimicking is literal from finishing my senetances to getting up when I do (which are new things)
And no we don't communicate enough I keep asking them to open up but they simply won't do it
