Hi We have been married for 11 years, although we love each other we are really struggling with our relationship. From the very beginning something felt 'not right' / 'different'. My husband struggles with social routines, reading people's emotions, obsessive behaviour over hobbies and routines. These issues affect our relationship in a variety of ways. I feel lonely, not listened to and in some ways unloved and very guilty for feeling this way too ! My husband feels frustrated too. When things got to a point where we felt we couldn't sort things out on our own we contacted a counsellor. After several visits she asked us if we had ever heard of Asperger's Syndrome. Our GP has referred my husband for an assessment, we are waiting, but in all honesty we have struggled during the Covid lockdown. I have read other people's discussion posts and the one difference to quite a few is that he very rarely shows any anger. He very rarely shows any emotion at all. We struggle to communicate. We can return to our counsellor but obviously still not at the time being. We would be grateful for any advice to help us make things feel less tense and a little easier. Thank you.
