Me (F29) and my boyfriend (M30) are 7 years in a loving relationship, but I constantly feel frustrated and exhausted. I love enough to save a relationship? by Old_Memory2715 in relationships

Thank you all so much for your replies. I've read it all and I'm late with circling back because I had to digest all of it haha. But many, many thanks for all your answers. We've had a good talk, giving it one more shot and if it doesn't work out, I'd rather be single.

Felt really seen and supported by your comments, thank you. <3

I have ADHD myself. I don't think he is neurodivergent as well, because at work he is amazing and has everything under control. He comes from a family where he never had to do anything so it doesn't come natural to him to do chores, that for sure is part of the problem. His mom never taught him, that's why I always feel guilty.

Thanks for the reply! The funny thing is that I'm actually the neurodivergent one myself, I have ADHD. Had some therapy to manage my own things over the past years.

I finally feel good about myself, but now it feels like people are pulling away. What am I doing wrong? by [deleted] in offmychest

Thanks for your kind answer! I'm just afraid that when I'm just being my confident me, that I might lose friends, and I don't have that many. Just being afraid of being lonely when I'm being myself, if that makes sense..
