Please tell me if there is a set of instructions on how to handle conversation/communication between a NT female and an AS male. We've been together almost 2 years and I'm almost done with it. What is so terribly heart-wrenching for me is that he CAN be so helpful, willing, generous and interested in life's good things but then there's the side that will never have your back, can be terribly cruel with insults, has annoying twitches and habits, follows the exact same morning and bedtime routine every single day, and has obsessive interests in things that, if he gets a chance, will go on "ad infinitum" about until you turn into stone. He hoards, talks about himself, gives me so emotional support, sex is just boring and short-lived, passionless, and there's no laughter or mutual sharing in conversation. He likes facts, not verbal expression. Direct. Simple. Blunt. Can we talk???????
