Hi Nikki,
At one point he was trying to figure out the chronology of my weight losses and gains over the last 20 or so years, figuring the weight losses happened when I was physically ill (sort of true), and the weight gains came before relationship break-ups (not true). He was just twisting the data around in his aspie mind to form these far-fetched conclusions.
I remember early on in our relationship, when I was truthful and told him that I was taking antidepressants, he was (and still is) against it. At that time, he went so far as to suggest that ADs were unnatural, and if I felt suicidal without them, then maybe that's the way things should be...maybe I should commit suicide, and maybe he should be there to hold my hand while I off myself. Of course, he thought more about it overnight (and after my blasting him) and apologized the next day.
Thanks for your support. It helps to know someone who lives with aspies.
