Advice for adult relationships?

HarQ

Not yet diagnosed, but on the waiting list.

Currently struggling with just ‘coasting’ in my relationship of 4 years and wondering if it’s an autistic trait and if so, are there any management techniques?

I can't come to a decision about the future, even though I love my partner, and they're struggling with the lack of commitment.

Are there any other common issues in relationships to look out for (this is my first serious one) and management strategies for these?

  • I'm happily married, a father of 3 children, and suspect I am autistic (my eldest daughter was diagnosed). But it is never entirely "good" because that would be impossible. I suppose for a long term relationship, you will eventually need to communicate (somehow) what it is you want/need, which may be uncomfortable and scary because you don't know what the outcome will be - this works vice versa too with your partner. Only with honesty will either of you understand each other better, and it will eventually make your relationship stronger.
