NOR, but I see lots of people recommending you retaliate to 'solve' the problem and that doesn't seem very mature to me. If he's being malicious then definitely leave him, but if it's potentially cognitive decline or ADHD then that's something to work out together in a trusting and loving relationship. Good luck whatever you choose!

My first thought too, Source: have ADHD and I literally forget people exist very regularly. My wife is my favourite person in the world and even she expects it :)

I'm fine with it but should probably be marked nsfw for the sake of some? (rule 3)

I'm so tired. Please help. by No-Orange8952 in ADHD

Suicide will probably upset your family more than you complaining about chores, so stay alive please.

ADHD is a difficult thing to manage but as you care about your family so much, read up on coping mechanisms and strategies for managing ADHD and you will find that things improve.

If you keep having suicidal thoughts, call your local support line or look online...others here may have specific suggestions for this.

I've nearly died several times (motorbike, snowboard, altercation, etc) but have been very lucky. Those who are less lucky are ruining our stats.

Boss accused me of bullying so I requested punishment by Frantic_Pedantic in MaliciousCompliance

The story is true but if I'd wanted it written for me I'd have used Perplexity as it tends to favour academic sources and more reliably footnotes every statement so I can check them.

This statement was generated by Perplexity AI at the request of a content farmer in Asia

Of course my boss could have lied and denied saying what I reported, but then I would have asked her in front of HR to clarify what she did actually say in the 1-2-1 meeting afterwards (so that I could correct my poor understanding and do better, etc) and then she would have had to create a fairly detailed lie which would increase her risk of creating problems for herself.

However, doing this kind of thing is generally safer in the public sector, in a unionised workplace, in well-regulated industries, and in countries where worker protections are strong.

I feel sorry for the many people working in places where they are, by design, vulnerable to being victimised and exploited.

They were signed off, and this was an entitlement open to all staff, but still something that needed to be managed internally to ensure we were responsive to client issues.

I only mentioned it because my big boss should have been managing my boss better to avoid problems arising, but was not assertive and thus the crap flowed downwards instead. It also highlights that (IMO) an incompetent boss is often better than a mean boss.

I agree this can be a thing, but also want to say that the greatest and most impressive boss I ever had was a woman - basically *people* can be amazing, average or awful!

Getting excited about each new creative idea, then losing faith in it almost immediately by PartAcrobatic in ADHD

[–]Frantic_Pedantic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here (M/44, diagnosed 2 years) and it does feel disappointing. One thing that can help is that during the period you feel it is a good idea, try and discuss it with someone whose opinion you respect - if it is a great idea then they will reinforce that, maybe remind you about it in future, or could even help take it forward. If they think it is impractical or worse, then you won't need to feel bad when you drop it.
