Does he have any deep or meaningful relationships? Or just talk shop or TV shows or news articles? Can he discuss anything if feelings are mentioned or involved? Or stonewall or get angry and deflect?[/quote]

Absolutely cannot discuss anything related to feelings unless it is 100% positive.    Definitely stonewalls/gets angry/deflects.     Those are the only reactions I have ever gotten.

Anyone hear of DARVO?   I have read it's used mostly for sexual abuse, but it applies to him completely.   Deny/attack/reverse victim-offender.  Absolutely true and describes his way of dealing with anything that isn't wonderful.   So we could never really develop a relationship that wasn't physical.   He literally cannot "relate" to anyone unless it's talking about something he's interested in.

No, I don't think he's on the spectrum, but what do I know. He IS highly intelligent, and enjoys correcting me or "showing up" everyone else or being a know-it-all.   Sometimes it's the only time I see him animated about anything.

Yet I started a new job 3 months ago and he isn't even interested enough to ask me about it.   it's bizarre.   He knows nothing about what I do and doesn't seem to care.
