AS partner cheating

NAS73828

Hi, I'm new to this but my partner is recently self-diagnosed AS. He is very intelligent and high-functioning. I just found out that he's being cheating on me in a non-sexual relationship for 3 years with a much, much younger woman  (And, please, before anyone asks, yes, you can cheat without sex or even romance.) Having given this a LOT of thought I think this is more to do with narcissistic personality traits than AS. He's done online tests for various personality disorders and this one fits best to his characteristics, although I appreciate it's all very fluid. Any (helpful) comments or advice gratefully received.

  • Hi - sorry-  isn't a non-sexual relationship just a close friend?    What exactly is the issue?       Asperger's can mean a lot of things - but it doesn't preclude him being an a-hole.

    How does he present as Asperger's?     What are the main symptoms?

    This is what I thought then I remembered an episode of the Simpsons where Homer was told Marge was having an “emotional affair” even though it seemed to be a close friendship. If you never talk to your wife but are very friendly with another lady instead that’s seen as cheating in a non sexual way? I think we do need more info from the OP though. Maybe he was lying about who he was with when he was actually with her? I must admit I’m still confused that it may be implied that he’s seeing this other lady because he has Asperger’s, that doesn’t sound right to me

    Just my opinion based on the info provided, but the whole things seems somehow off to me.  The general tone reminds me so much of a very controlling person who was previously part of my life.
