[quote=Anonymous]My ex-DH was like this. He probably is on the spectrum, though he refused to pursue diagnosis or acknowledge the impact on others. He pretty much things it's the rest of the world (including me) who had the problem. I didn't mind "helping" him socially. The issue that ultimately caused me to leave him was that it was part of a bigger picture that looks a lot like narcissism. Some people saw him as haughty or clueless or arrogant, I thought a saw a sweet inner core. I was projecting a lot. He really has trouble with basic empathy--simply understanding that people who feel differently than he about something may have valid opinions. This was laid out starkly when we had children. He put his needs above theirs. It shouldn't have been a shock to me but it was. Sadly, he wants a connection with other people and wants to be social. He just wants it on his terms and basically doesn't know how to go about the whole thing well. [/quote]
