My long term girlfriend is in denial...what to do?

OpenD

Hi,

I'm new on here and I'm both concerned and confused.

I've been trying to make our relationship work. We've been together on and off for 3 years. It's been a struggle ...we argue all the time. She can never be wrong and never apologises for here uncaring remarks and criticises me all the time. However, I love here like no one else I've ever met in my life ....we simplt can't be apart for long. Right now, we're gonna give it another try. Will it be worth it? She gets so angry when I even suggest that it just might be her. I've even admitted fault in the past simply because I really don't want to be without her.

I've been married twice before. I'm a recovering alcoholic (24 years sobriety) and most certainly bipolar.

What to do? and thanks for reading this.

Steve

    If you argue all of the time then it sounds unhealthy from the start? If she is autistic then she is likely to receive any advice as being critical and unwanted. Is she happy as she is or is she actually unhappy and does she want to be happier? Have you asked her questions like that? If you can at least offer a prospect, or a possible path to future happiness then that might be better received.

    Have you tried the AQTest yourself or has she tried it? aspergerstest.net/.../ This is a very good place to start working out if autism is a potential explanation for someone's unhappiness.
