I have been with my partner for approximately 18 months. I did not know he was on the autistic spectrum when I met him but we moved in together and it became very evident. He is very intelligent but struggles with emotions and does not realise how rude and harsh he can be when talking to me or any of his friends. He has no self-awareness of how scary he can be. He has now developed a thing where he wakes up at 3 am most mornings and starts a conversation with me and I am absolutely shattered and finding it difficult to function properly in the day. I challenged him about it last night and now he ismt speaking to me. I don't know how much more I can cope with and I don't know how to resolve this without making him lose his temper.
I have no where else to go.…..
Sorry if I seem critical, but how do you know he is autistic? I have known quite a few men at places I have worked, who did not show emotions much, were rude and harsh and seemed not very self aware, but that doesn't make them autistic.
However, whether he's on the spectrum or not, the answer is still the same - if he will not listen to you and try to change then it's better for you to end the relationship, for your own health.
