What is this?
Overcomer:
I know we are not supposed to diagnose but I simply cannot understand this person's behavior....
1. We got our dog professionally trained. The trainer came to our house and gave us a quick, 1 1/2 hour lesson on how to continue her training. The entire time my husband did not look at her but directed all comments towards me. He became flustered and had to leave before it was over.
2. When my daughter and I are watching a show on Netflix in the living room, he walks in and starts talking to me. We have to pause our show. We tell him we are watching something but he continues to keep interrupting.
3. The grand baby is sleeping on me. I tell him to whisper. He cannot whisper.
4. When we have a group of people swimming in our pool, he does the same thing as Netflix. He comes out and talks to ME. No one else. And he talks about himself. His work. His mowing. What we should do in the next week. He does not enter in to the conversation.
5. We talk a lot about his shoe size. His pants size. How he gets his hair cut.
6. He talks only about his favorite band, Journey. Factoids about the singers, etc. When I get in the car with him he turns on the same CD he's had in the car for 10 years.

I don't what the first five are about but this one seems not only to be grounds for divorce, but justifiable homicide to boot.

It sound like he could be an Aspie.

I thought that, too. He can pull off some social interaction but not in HIS space. He wants no one to come over and never goes with me to anything.

I agree. General problems with social interaction. Problems with eye contact. Inability to adjust voice levels. Obsession with sometimes peculiar personal interests. Focusing on one or a very few select people for relationship. Talking almost entirely about himself. It seems he shows many of the typical AS behaviors.
