Also polyamorous, also living with symptoms of autism, also feeling the need to disconnect emotionally from my partner(s) when I need to focus on my side projects or work. My last primary partner was technical and so we would hack for hours on stuff and it was very much a different experience. My current primary partner is non-technical so the things we do together are non-technical. Maybe your partner isn't a good fit? Edit: Or maybe it's a fantastic fit and you ought to get used to being less of a technical fanatic.

That sounds lovely. Mine is a therapist, and in lieu of hacking we have a rich dialog on how to live in a world with other people. I am fortunate to have a partner who is willing to face head on that I will never consent to making her my first priority. Just gotta keep making changes until something works. Worst comes to worst, an in-law suite will probably do the trick.

I'm going to keep your phrase about needing to disconnect emotionally; I have something similar but I didn't have the right words to explain it. Thanks <3
