I love my husband dearly, and I’m thankful for everything he does for me and puts up with me. It’s taking everything in me not to seriously slap him the next time he says it. I’ve explained to him that it bothers me, that it feels disrespectful and that it especially looks bad when he says those things in public but he still hasn’t stopped. But at the same time, it truly bothers me when he tells me to shut up and be quiet, even if he doesn’t mean it in an ugly way and is thinking he’s doing it to be funny. Without getting into too much, his doctor also believes he may have Asperger’s which could explain his fixation with certain words and phrases amongst other things like lack of sex desire (we’ll leave that for another discussion ?). However the “shut up” and “be quiet” thing has been going on for a while now, that one never went away. He also has a tendency to constantly repeat certain words, sentences or phrases at random times and it changes up frequently depending on where and when he’s heard it.

He wasn’t always like that, it started out as a joke between him and his co-worker and he brought it home. So my husband is actually a really sweet guy, and he does a lot for me and helps me with my business, but he’s adopted this really bad habit of saying things like “shut up” and stuff when I ask him something at an inconvenient time or sometimes he’ll just say it just to say it. Ugh so this is my first time on here and idk if I’m looking for advice or just venting since I don’t really wanna say this to people I know.
