[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 743533, member: 11235"] This is a terrible situation and I'm sorry you're going through it. If he has been diagnosed with ASPD then there is little hope that he can experience the love and attachments that we feel. It's just how he is, through whatever fluke of nature. What I want to say to you is that you have to protect yourself and your family. People with-this disorder spend their lives learning how to fake emotion in order to manipulate others. We fall for it because we experience these emotions and want to believe they do as well. If I were you I would not pursue a relationship with him until you have come to terms with your grief and accepted what this disorder truly means. Then if you are able to set very clear boundaries with the relationship you could try it. You would have to be very strict with your boundaries and if he oversteps them at all decide what the repercussions are and stick to them. Also, remember that he doesn't experience relationships as you do, so he isn't grieving the way that you do. Don't feel guilty. You are protecting yourself and your family. I hope you find some peace. [/QUOTE]
