Autistic - Marriage troubles

NAS62016
over 4 years ago

Hello. I am 53, have been diagnosed as having Austism 3 months ago. My wife works and I have not had a job in over 7 years, I just cannot seem to get a job. I digress, anyway I have been married for nearly 2 years now. Things have got to breaking point. My wife says she is drained and cannot give anymore to this relationship. The problem is I do not talk a lot at all. I am very introverted, my wife is the opposite of me. When she talks to me about her day I just cannot seem to think of anything to say in response to her. Nothing comes into my head to respond. It is so frustrating. I do not know what to do so I can talk easily to her. Has anyone got any suggestions for me please.

Thank you

    Thank you for your reply. I will try your idea. Having not really talked a lot to anybody for my whole life only about what I'm interested in, I just find it so hard to know what to say. I tend to give one word answers back when I need to elaborate more.

    Thank you again for your help.
