Chapter 8: What Are the Ups and Downs of Planning a Wedding as a Neurodivergent Couple?
Yeah. But I also like Alex's question, so I am going to answer. I actually have a lot of guilt about this because now he has been diagnosed autistic. I see it in a totally different way. Okay. So I want to preface it with that. It was the emotional shutdowns when we were having tough conversations. It would make me feel like
listened to or that he was doing it on purpose to to if I wanted to talk and he would walk away or wouldn't make eye contact with me wouldn't talk to me um like very very different argument styles and for a long time I just thought that we I don't know weren't that great at communicating or he didn't want to talk to me or he was rejecting me so it brings in the whole RSD angle um I don't think I ever thought about breaking up with you because
I don't think I'd do very well in life if I didn't have you. You'd go back to missing flights. I would, yeah.
How does that make you feel, Rich, hearing Rox say that?
I understand it. I think not only, I don't think she needs to feel guilt about it because I can see why it would have been frustrating. I think the difference is since I've been diagnosed, well, actually probably a bit before that, I've just been a bit better at communicating this is how I'm currently feeling.
I can't continue this conversation anymore because I'm on the verge of just being overwhelmed or I don't understand everything well enough to be able to articulate myself the way. And she understands that. Whereas at the start, I would have just gone silent, right? Oh, yeah. And I'd be like, why are you speaking to me? Not looking. You've made me feel rejected. Not looking.
It was almost like a recipe for... disaster when you think about we're like so different in terms of how we argue or disagree were you aware of that frustration from rocks at the time yeah i think so but i didn't i didn't have the words to be able to communicate why i was shutting down because like the thing is when we have conflict and we don't have much of it
I can, even to the point where I know that I've upset her about something, if I don't fully understand why I've upset her, what my actions were, logically, I can't really engage with the conversation. So if she says you've upset me because of this, and I think in that moment, well, I'm in the right, but I know she's not, or I think I'm in the right, but I know she's not an unreasonable person.
I'll be like, I've heard it. Can I have some time to process everything that you've just said? And typically I'll come back and be like, I actually can see where I've gone wrong there. But that's the magic bit is knowing. that break. So whereas historically in a row, so imagine you're in a row and I say, you've really upset me, said this thing, I'm really upset.
