So you had chosen to change your location. It worked! Good that you are not having any further trouble.

I do not buy into a subjective reality. The laws of the Universe care not how I categories them. Gravity works on all of us whether or not we accept it. How we deal with it is a choice we make.

Gravity is physics. And I guess we agree to disagree.

If she has Asperger's then why did you marry her?

Asperger's people cannot exist in relationships. They lack the empathy to understand/comprehend intimate relationships. I know people with Asperger's and they're impossible to be around. They always see life in black and white terms, and can never see things from another standpoint.

I empathise with you for lasting in this relationship so long.

That has been my experience too. Although they do tend to be very smart. And people shouldn't be thrown out with the dirty bath water.

Take a glass of beer. if you and I drank it, we would both experience the taste differently. All experience is relative, nay, everything is relative. This is an elemental fact of the human condition.

Relative tastes is not reality though. The reality is we both drank the beer. The reality is the beer came in a container. The reality is we could have a beer because there was no prohibition in the Country we drank the beer in. And yes, the reality is our perceptions are likely to be different within the normal humans ability to respond to the sensations of consuming the beer.

Reality has not changed in any of that. Reality is not relative since it exists independent of any one viewer. Now if you want to get into the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, I am afraid my quantum physics knowledge is a bit rusty and I can not seem to find it recently.

Reality is subjectively experienced.

I have to give that a qualified maybe. The Reality at its core is unchanged even if the experience of it by a individual may be subjective. Take for instance being color blind. You may not be able to discern the wavelengths of light that make up the color blue, however with the right knowledge you can design instruments that can detect it. Therefore the color blue is a reality whether you see it or not.
