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.…..
Why is he waking you up at 3AM? Is that so bad anyway? Do you not like being woken up to see your partner at 3am? I know I wouldn’t mind being woken up at 3am by my partner if I’d had one that is. But of course if he is waking you up and you don’t like the sight of him then that is understandable. I mean if I was sleeping with someone that I don’t love and they kept waking me up at 3am then you that would be weird. Sorry if I’m not understanding what it is you’re saying. I just don’t see what the problem is. I tend to agree with others that have posted here with what they are thinking. Are you afraid of his temper or something? Is he like angry at you at 3am? Sorry I am missing what is so bad about the whole being woke up at 3am thing. Maybe if it’s meaning your missing work the next day. But then your partner is a commitment like work and it’s up to you whether you choose your partner or work I guess.
