Good question serendipitous.

I think it means - He is a complete walkover and I can treat him like shit, but I always get away with it.

(Reading between the lines, of course)

Jesus. MN is a place to come for advice, however sometimes you have to accept the advice you are given is unlikely to change.

Sometimes people ask advice and tend to side with people who say things that fit in with what they already want to hear and not be open to absorbing the advice they don't want to hear.

I'd maybe suggest some counselling for yourself, that might help you to get to the place that allows you to move on in your life, with or without your DH.

togoornot, I agree, saying he gives you a massage every night does not make your poor husband sound bad. However,you have posted more negatives than positives about him, some of the negatives are written in such a way as to make him sound particularly bad. eg. no2. You have already stated elsewhere, though not here, that this injury was something that happened as a result of you physically attacking him. it doesn't make it right, but it was not the cold blooded attack on you that you infer here. no 7. again, you have previously stated that this happened before you were involved with him and many of the posters on that thread told you then that it was more than likely shock and grief that made him act that way and in any case, it really wasn't your problem.
I really do not think it is for any counsellor to say whether someone has Asperger's, he might indeed have traits, but it is for a specialist to make the diagnosis. A counsellor is not usually medically trained and therefore has no right to make a diagnosis, or to hint at one. especially to another person, even if that is the wife.

OTOH, if he is Asperger's, that would explain a lot of his behaviours you have described. But it will also mean that he will find it very hard, if not impossible, to change some of them.

Every time you post, you ask whether you should stay with him or go. It doesn't matter what we say, only you can decide. But it is extremely unfair of you to constantly name change, (this is about the seventh change that I know of!) and ask for answers to the same old question.

I honestly do not know what you want to hear. if people tell you to leave you don't like it and if they tell you to stay you don't like it. You left him around christmas and then you were on here asking for advice about the new relationship. then you returned to Poor Husband. it appears that you have since left and returned again. in the meantime, OM is still waiting in the wings.

If you have any decency in you at all, you will leave them both, live alone with your DS for a while until you are sure what you want. What you are doing is unfair to all the men involved here, including your DS.

You really do come across as someone who is totally self absorbed,and very, very attention seeking.It alsomst seems as though you need to believe that there are several men who are desperate for you and you thrive on the power that you appear to have over them. Maybe some time alone will give you time to realise that the whole world does not revolve around you and to consider their feelings before your own for once.

holyguacamole I believe she is already in counselling, as mentioned in older threads.

sayiyhowitis well said, I do feel for the 3 other people involved here, especially the poor DS who must be very confused by all this shuffling about & violence between his parents

Desperate for what?

Seriously. You've had untold responses on untold threads. Some people said "Oh, that's awful, you should leave!" Some said "Oh, it sounds as if you have something you can work on, you should stay" (obv paraphrasing here)

Are you waiting for someone to swoop in and physically remove you? Or are you waiting for some help of the likes given by very lovely MNers to people in real desperation? (like money?)

Desperate? Maybe, but what is this doing to help you?

You post, again and again. You drip-feed information, again and again.

You get good advice - the same advice - again and again.

You ignore it all, namechange, and re-start the drip-feed, again and again and AGAIN.

It is maddening, to be honest.

What do you want to hear? What is the single piece of advice you're prepared to accept that you haven't heard so far?

Why can't you trust yourself to make a decision? What do you think a bunch of internet strangers can work out about your life that you can't?

I'm pretty sure you know the answer to all of these. And, annoying as I find the constant name-changing, I really hope you can find a happy solution for yourself, your DS and your DH.

And second everyone who suggests you go back through your namechanges and read the many pieces of excellent (and similar!) advice you've already had.

Good luck.
