But . . .

I thought I was supposed to live "happily ever after". That is the farthest statement from the truth concerning my marriage to a man with undiagnosed Aspergers Syndrome. He has admitted he tricked me into marrying him over eight years ago and I have lived miserably since then in a loveless marriage. I am not an expert in Aspergers Syndrome but I am a woman with common sense and a Master's Degree in Speech Language Pathology. I am going to write of my life so that if you are in a relationship with a man and suspect he might have Aspergers you will quit wondering why the hell he ignores you all the time. In his mind, he is not ignoring you! My husband left me almost four months ago. He did this by leaving a letter on the bathroom sink of our newly purchased 5200 square foot house and went to work with two pair of underwear and a few shirts. His letter outlined that he is not gay, addicted to anything or having an affair. WHEW! Thank goodness. My journey with this man has been frustrating and demoralizing. I will tell you a bit.
