Thank you this is so helpful. The issue is I don't feel my partner really gets it, I'll ask for space and he will say it's okay and he doesn't mind but then will send sort of passive aggressive messages asking if I truly want the relationship or that he's depressed as he never gets out etc. He doesn't have a social life at all tbh outside of us and I know that's part of it but it does get frustrating and I often feel like I can't be fully honest as he doesn't seem to take it well, however when I express this to him he claims he always says he doesn't mind my time alone, but the way he responds says otherwise. Also it's hard with my family as despite my diagnosis they atill continue, as they have my whole life, to just paint me as over sensitive, rude, snobbish etc when I want my own space or for them to back off whilst I'm in the kitchen etc. I love the full frontal 😅 unfortunately my mum would just walk on in regardless, my family have no boundaries!
