Aspbergers Syndrome

13 Jun 2007 03:42 AM

I, too, am married to a man who has been diagnosed with Asberger's syndrome. I have been seeing a counselor, and I am at the point of seeking divorce. This is such a painful decision. I lose sleep with worry. But, I have also been reading various articles and . . . I just do not feel that I can continue with this marriage. The prognosis is not at all good. I feel terribly guilty about abandoning my husband. He has good qualities, and I am deeply concerned that he will be all alone. But, I am sinking. My marriage (3.5 years) is isolating me from my friends and interests, plus my daughter from my first marriage is urging me to leave. Has anyone on this board dealt with this? I would very much appreciate hearing your views. Thank you.
