Why does my partner think I'm rowing everytime I ask a question? Wh does my partner think I'm getting at him everytime I disagree with him? He shows no emotion, all he does is say I love you like a robot. Seems to to be the only emotion he has.

He doesn't get angry, doesn't get sad, just looks manic or sad 100% of the time. I am wondering if he has autism that has never been diagnosed but then I came across this Alexithymia, I seriously think he has this?! What do you think?

It's always tempting to try to understand the reasons behind difficult behaviour, @18Floral. But does it impact what you do next? He sounds impossible to have a decent relationship with. Look after your own well-being first.
