  1. I'm really struggling at the moment. I am awaiting a diagnosis for autism. Does anybody else struggle with relationships. I have been with my partner for 17 years and thought we had a pretty solid relationship until recently. We went on holiday last year to a place I had been before over 20 years ago with an ex. I didn't think this would be a problem but my other half has gone ballistic saying she can't believe I would go somewhere with my ex. My ex didn't even cross my mind when booking the holiday I just wanted to go there because I knew my partner would enjoy it. Can anyone give me any advice as I'm devastated that she is so upset but at the same time I don't understand it because I wouldn't have a problem if things were reversed. TIA.

  • How and when did she find out that you’d been before? Sounds like she’s only recently become upset even though you went last year? I know that people do seem to get insecure or jealous when it comes to exes but I ‘m not sure I really understand why. I think she needs to explain to you exactly why she’s upset when she’s calmed down so you can know exactly what’s going on. As you’ve been together a long time she probably assumes that you know how she thinks. I still have to remind my husband he needs to be blunt at times otherwise I won’t have a clue what he’s thinking/feeling
