Husband has schizoid personality disorder. Anyone else in this spot?

@santy RUN, don't walk to the nearest exit, determine who you are and what you want and then find a man who will walk your journey WITH you. IT DOES NOT GET BETTER!!! My husband is 81 and his life consists of hours on his computer, hours in front of the
TV watching things most normal people have absolutely NO interest in (The Black Death. Quantum physics, Black Holes, Super mathematics.......), hours with his nose in a book and time in his garden in the summer. He eats alone, very seldom initiates conversation and if you ask him about this he thinks it is perfectly OK or he just shuts down. From my reading he really does think this is OK because he has NO Emotional INTELLIGENCE - none!!!. This is his normal. He will go anywhere and do anything I suggest but the minute we are in the house he heads straight for his computer. And forget sex (yes people in their 80's still have sex). Essentially, I live alone and at 80 it is a little late for me but you have a chance at a "normal" married life which you will never have with him. We did 6 years of marital counseling before he was diagnosed none of which changed anything and even after the diagnosis nothing has changed, He is in therapy but, as far as I can see nothing is changing, Run, don't walk to the nearest exit if you want any chance of happiness because you won't find it with your current husband!!!

Hi, I just found this site and I know your posting was a long time ago but, if you are still around I would like to chat with you. this is what I wrote to someone who had been married to a Szpd for 3 months and wanted to know what to do: RUN, don't walk to the nearest exit, determine who you are and what you want and then find a man who will walk your journey WITH you.
