[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love my husband, but I am so lonely in our marriage. 
Recently, we found out that he has ASD, which explains pretty much everything that's been wrong with our 25-year marriage.
I want to stay married, but I don't know if I can spend the rest of my life with this man who is unable to connect emotionally with me. 
He's somewhat controlling, and he does gaslight me if I don't call him on it. But he doesn't have rages, and he accepts that he has ASD-1/HFA/Aspergers, whatever you want to call it. He's fairly successful at his job, but he is a workaholic. Work is his only interest. He has no hobbies and almost no friends. He gloms onto my friends. 
I feel so lonely and neglected, like a piece of furniture that he sits on when it's convenient for him. 
My question: Does anyone have a happy, fulfilling marriage to an ASD/HFA/Aspergers husband? 
If so, how? How do you make your marriage work? [/quote]

OP At least he does not rage. Mine belittles me, screams at me, rages at me, borderline physical violence, he tells me he does not feel anything for me. I could leave him but I don't want to see my kid 50% of the time only and my kid unfortunately also has severe ADHD. So in my view in your case marriage is doable. Not great but sounds ok. [/quote]
