Hi all,
My undiagnosed autistic husband left me and removed all his things from our family home a few days ago, things have been difficult for a while, I'm currently pregnant and we have only just recently realised he's likely to be autistic, although due to covid, he won't be assessed until the month I'm due to give birth.
At the moment my husband is living with his parents, ignoring my texts and is completely refusing to engage in any confession with anyone regarding a decision of if he wants to be with me or not. Apparently he says he still love me but has said he doesn't know if love is enough anymore.
After doing some reading I realised that this could be him shutting down. Although he is still going to work and engaging in his hobbies. I don't know if this means anything.
Due to him leaving, I am in an extremely bad place, worried he will forget about me or stop missing me the longer he is away, but I don't know what to do for the best. Should I keep texting him? Should I leave him and give him space?
His father tells me that once the baby is born, this may help to build bridges, but that's just his opinion and is not based on anything my husband has said.
In your opinion, what is the best thing I can do right now? Do you think there is any chance of him coming home? Should I give up all hope. If he has made a decision, why wouldn't he tell me?
The silence is absolute torture, please help me with any information you feel may help.
Thank you in advance
