We'd get along fine! I don't even wear socks, well, very rarely...

Great sharing....I think many of have looked at socks!  I finally just separated myself and set up a life apart....800 miles away....but 8 years later it's just weird, and unresolved, and the hours I've spent talking to myself are down the drain.....and the whole thing seems unreal, like a dream, 800 miles away, $4000 a month....until we don't talk and I can't even remember if he picked up his socks or not......

Re: Another possibility is that variant of autism, Asberger's Syndrome

It's not Asberger's. He used to be sociable, witty, lots of friends. But the enzyme deficiency led to emphysema, oxygen deprivation, destruction of the liver, depression. It got a little better after the transplant, but has been regressing for ten years.

There aren't many Wiley's around from my experience. I guess his Mommy

always picked after him and his Daddy. He seems to have learned nothing and he seems to be wasting what should be wonderful years of his life. Of course there are some wonderful men here on Blogit but they are writers and poets they have soul.

Reading this makes me recall how spoiled and stupid I was for a long, long time, and how I really didn't appreciate what I had until it was too late to begin appreciating.

Well Pat the good news, if it had been me, I would have admired your spirit, you could have made a good man out of him. I just can't help wondering as I have said before, why cannot women see this coming. I can only conclude that the desire to have babies is a more powerful motive than most other things and I know men feel this way as well.
