[quote=Anonymous]Op here. So I don't think he's Asperger's. He actually has lots of long-standing close friends who make fun of him for his tendencies. And most people really do like him - he's got a good sense of humor and always the first to help at stuff, volunteer, etc. I get told how lucky I am constantly, sometimes by my own parents, though I think that's because I totally wear a mask now. I don't really talk about this stuff with anyone except my cousin and my therapist and now you guys!! LOL.

I don't think I am so focused on his resume. I wrote it out here so you all can see the two sides of his personality. I met him early, way before all this success. I thought he was funny, super supportive of my career goals, loyal and driven but nothing was actualized when we started dating. And like I said, a lot of this perfectionism I didn't realize until the kids were toddlers. That is when it became more apparent.  Although I suppose the signs were always there - the exceptionally neat way his closet and car always were, the way he is always so regimented about his morning routine, the fact that we'd have to consider 25 tables in six different stores before buying one for our tiny apartment so he could get the perfect one. But all of those compulsions, if that is the correct word, were for the most part, self-inflicted.

Thanks for your comments, DCUM. You've given me a lot to think about. Just putting it all out there has been kind of a relief to me. I am heading to talk to the my therapist now and I hope for the best.
