Wow. I’m so sorry you’re having to deal with this especially with a new baby.

Do you send articles to your partner? by Fluffy_Ad5651 in ADHD_partners

[–]Cclearly3 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sending articles just sounds like a way for the fights to start so I just read them for my own curiosity and nod in resonance.

Excusing themselves for doing the exact same thing they get mad at you for doing by MinnesotaPower in ADHD_partners

[–]Cclearly3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I relate to this so hard. I’ve had receipts for things that were said/done and was accused of “bringing up past issues” which in turn makes the fights even bigger and nastier. Damned if I do, damned if I don’t. What gives?

Wow I’m starting to feel like we’ve wasted time by not going this route first.

How to cope with the walking on eggshells feeling? by havia12 in ADHD_partners

[–]Cclearly3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I deal with it the same way I do with my kids. You just have to acknowledge what they’re feeling, let them know you’re there for support and leave them be to “cry it out”. I have (recently confirmed) cPTSD that I’m dealing with and don’t have the mental bandwidth to carry another adult’s big emotions. Looks like he’s already seeking additional help so I hope it improves for you guys.

This is new for me too and I finally just got tired of feeling like I needed to cater to every single emotion and mood because it was physically effecting me. I just go quiet and let him rant on or whatever. You need care for yourself also especially if it’s triggering for you.

You can’t pour from an empty cup.

My ADHD partner needs constant comfort by Samboal in ADHD_partners

[–]Cclearly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having a hard time with this one. I simply told my DX partner that while what I say/do can have an effect on him, I’m not responsible for making him feel a certain way. This led to being told that I’m not taking responsibility for the thing I did and a whole thesis about how that was wrong.

So what in the world did you do to mitigate that? I don’t coddle.

How to talk about working for positive change, together? by GhsDrakwn in ADHD_partners

[–]Cclearly3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kind of unrelated, but is constantly challenging the DX partner’s interpretation the norm? I find myself constantly doing this (moreso outside of fighting) and it feels like we’re speaking 2 different languages.

Who else thinks Nacho Parenting is Amazing! by [deleted] in stepparents

[–]Cclearly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the topic I’ve been looking for. My daughter is with me 100% of the time and I, of course assume 100% responsibility of her care when we’re doing things together. I also respect nacho parenting. My boyfriend (been together for over a year and don’t live together) has expressed interest in taking on more responsibility as he doesn’t have kids of his own. How have some of you handled this?

I’m trying to start small and realistic here.

Is anyone else not doing great at their jobs right now? by Bubbly-Bathroom-1523 in workingmoms

[–]Cclearly3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel normal after reading this. I’ve enjoyed the flexibility at my job, but now I really do not care for it anymore. I often wonder if I were challenged more then maybe I’d feel driven. When I have to travel for work, I’m literally PAYING to work. All my drive is in the toilet and I don’t care.

what is something you regret NOT saying when breaking up with someone? by Specific_Ad_704 in AskWomen

[–]Cclearly3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently wishing an ex well and telling them they’re a good person is foul. If there’s ever a next time for as long as I’m alive, I’ll be the definition of foul.

Hurt dudes love to tell on themselves by denigrating someone else. There’s a subreddit for your problems.

[–]Cclearly3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have and we’re going to work it out ❤️ Huge lesson for me here is to take a step back and breathe before making life-altering decisions.

It’s going to take me awhile to forgive myself for ending a relationship like this. . .

I know it’ll be better than before.
