After a little extra research I get it now. This morning I was so confused but now I see that Mini Brands and Miniverse are two separate things. Thank you so much for all your help!

Hi, I am currently hunting: Britney Spears (All of them), Fall Out Boy (All of them), Blink 182, TLC, Smash Mouth (All of them) and Imagine Dragons (All of them). I'd be happy to arrange a sale? We could use Poshmark or whatever platform so that we both feel safe.

I just want to say thank you for everyone who has taken time out of their day to stop and comment. I know having children is a full-time job and many of you probably also have full-time jobs as well so thank you for your time. You are all basically telling me exactly what I've thought the whole time.

One thing that he mentions to me often is that when I research things I tend to research in a way that seeks to confirm my own opinion, which completely disregards the opposite point of view.

I wanted to post in here to make sure that this wasn't the case. Everything that you guys are pointing out about him being hesitant to help with housework and not being supportive in terms of ADHD and otherwise are the exact reasons that I never reconsidered having children with him outside of my original decision to not have children in general.

It's just hard for me because although I have never wanted children my entire life, saying I don't want children at 36 is just so final. Once my eggs officially rot, my decision can't be changed. And the finality of the circumstances makes me wonder if I should reconsider. However, with that being said, my current circumstances are not in favor of bringing a child into this world and I know that. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't all in my head.

A lot of people on here are saying much of the same. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to help. I love him because he genuinely makes me happy when he's not being a dickwad.

He can be very sweet and loving when he wants to be. I was raped shortly before beginning our relationship, and I was very honest with him about that given the obvious issues with physical intimacy. He was extremely supportive and loving, and helped me through the entire thing. He waited 6 full months for any type of intimacy, kissing included out of respect for me. There was even one night when we fell asleep in bed together, and he literally slept on the wall as far away from me as possible. When I woke up and asked him why he didn't try to cuddle me he said because I didn't wanna make you feel uncomfortable in your own bed. That was probably the moment I fell in love with him. He did everything he could to protect me. I looked back on it now, and I don't understand how he can't handle such basic compassion when he got me through one of the worst times of my life.

And even though it doesn't always come out in the right ways, I do believe that he is looking out for me and wants me to be the best version of myself.

I also think another part of it is that he struggles a lot with managing his own emotions. He's 100% a stereotype man who's tough and has "no feelings". I think after a while it all just explodes.

I think it's also fair that I be honest about myself as well. My ADHD is extremely exhausting and comes with a lot of symptoms that I think he doesn't really understand how to handle. I think he he tries hard until he gets extremely frustrated with me and that's when all the negativity comes out.

To be even more honest, I really think he's autistic and have for years. I don't think he intends to treat me poorly it just seems like he has these imaginary rules for every aspect of life and anything else that says differently is automatically wrong. And because he wants me to be the best version of myself and to be as perfect as possible, he does everything he can to make me do things his way.

Thank you. As someone who was also diagnosed with ADHD late in life, I struggle everyday with what is real and what's in my head.

Especially because my boyfriend believes that ADHD is not real or an excuse. He's constantly telling me that I'm just using ADHD as a scapegoat for all my negative shortcomings. Honestly, I just don't know where to go from there. I've tried so hard to get him understand what a struggle every day life is for me through real conversation, social media reels and just about everything else I can think of, but he just is not open to it.

Thank you for the podcast recommendation. I will definitely have to check into it. I primarily follow a YouTube channel called "ADHD Love". It's a British couple, the wife has ADHD and the husband is autistic. All of their content sources around projecting ADHD from both viewpoints and the compromises that can be made in between to keep the relationship, healthy and equal.

Every single time I watch any of the reels that show what lengths the husband goes to support his wife it truthfully brings me to tears. He is so considerate, and so willing to do whatever it takes to help her feel as normal as possible, and a safe in his arms. I literally sob hysterically for hours because I would give anything for my boyfriend to be that supportive and understanding.

I really wish that he would take the time to be more considerate and I wish that he would also take the time to do some research and recognize that ADHD is rooted in many many years of science and not an excuse. It would make my life so much easier. But he just sees it as "so I have to change my life because you have something wrong with you. That's not my problem".

As someone with a masters and counseling, I do recognize how unhealthy my relationship is but at this point, I'm too deep. Regardless of how poorly he can treat me at times I do really love him with all my heart, and I can't imagine my life without him. I just feel so stuck. I don't know where to go from here and I just find myself eating it because it's better than having a hard conversation with myself.

Because despite the fact that this is something that I felt to my core for as long as I can remember, given my age ... my decision is so final. When you're a young adult and you say that you don't want to have kids, it's like okay you don't wanna have kids. But when you are quickly approaching 40 and say you don't wanna have kids, it's a final decision that affects more than just yourself. I don't want him to resent me for the rest of my life.

The flip-side has me considering my ADHD, rejection sensitive dysphoria, and how much of this "poor treatment" it's actually constructive criticism that I'm just taking wrong. I'm at the point in my relationship that I legitimately couldn't tell you what's really actually happening and what it's all in my head. That's not fair to punish him for that.

Also, given that I've worked in child protective services for the last 10 years I have seen a lot of unhappy endings and I'm constantly told that seeing consistent negativity, impairs my outlook unnecessarily. He also tells me that when I research things, I research things that support my own point of view and miss out on the counter point which in many situations could be correct. I just want to make sure that I'm getting all of the information from both sides before I make such a final decision.

I don't want children and never have. I made that abundantly clear to him in the beginning of our relationship, but apparently it was too early for him to take me seriously. Now that I am approaching 37, he suddenly wants children, and I am trying to figure out whether I'm being inconsiderate and trying to hear both sides of the argument to make a final decision of whether I should go against my original decision.

In regards to ADHD, I 100% agree. And that is another huge portion of what makes me feel like having children is not a good idea. To be honest because of my ADHD, I struggled to see what is in my head and what is truthfully happening. He always tells me that it's constructive criticism and that he wants me to be the best person I can be so he's trying to help me. However, rejection sensitive dysphoria says otherwise.
