This comment hits the nail directly on the head! I have been married to an AS wife for almost 23 years. She admits to her diagnosis of Asperger's but denies treatment or coping skills. She relies on caffeine, nicotine and alcohol to cope. Anytime we discuss problems, she thinks that I it is just how she is, she can't change and I need to just deal with it all. She has never shown any empathy, compassion or desire for me since 4 weeks after we wed. I did not see this side of her during courtship so after the marriage, I just had to deal with it as I swore that I'd never divorce. Well I have reconsidered after 22+ years and am ready to divorce. I can't live like this anymore!
