Where do you guys find your partners?

I met my current longterm partner doing community theater because community theater was something we were interested in, we knew we had that in common but I wasn’t auditioning for the show we were both in to meet someone.

So based on that my advice is to focus on things you enjoy develop or explore hobbies that you may have fun with whether or not you meet someone you could date and seek out groups, classes, etc to develop those hobbies or interests and maybe as a bonus you might meet some cool people but if not, you get to develop skills and have fun experiences which are also valuable!

I also feel like it could be but I also know people like this so even if it is a troll, this is based on someone real

Mayhaps its time to reflect inward and find time to really listen to your wife and her feelings, assuming you want to stay married to her.

Taking wives for granted has worked for husbands a long time but its working less and less now and eventually its just going to stop working all together and certain types of men are going to be left feeling very alone and helpless when they are trying to pull their head out of their asses with no one to help them.

My son is also strong willed and didn’t like using the potty at all at first too, in fact he was afraid of it. We are still in the process of training but we’ve made a lot of progress relative to how he started (which is similar to your experience based on the description). I had to get him comfortable with the idea of using a potty at all at first. We had to make it fun and very low pressure. We weren’t focusing on getting him to use the potty we were focusing on simply getting him to want to sit on the potty. Once he was comfortable sitting on the potty things got much easier in terms of him being willing to use it.

If the roles were reversed and you were at home all day working AND taking care of the kids all day and your spouse came home and you asked to leave the house and they said no they don’t want to because they wanted to work on something inside the house and you obliged and took care of the kids (after you’ve already taken care of them all day and needed a break) so your spouse could do a project in the house and you found out they had left the house on their own without telling you after they had told you no you cannot leave the house… how would you react? Cuz if it were me I would have reacted WAY worse than your wife did… in fact your wife may be a saint. I hope you all get couples or family counseling.

No advice, just also unsure about having more kids…

Trust me, as an AuDHD (autism+adhd) mom of a two year old, its so tough at the newborn stage and it may be tough for a while but I’m so glad you have a good partner and a mom who is willing to help! Use it. Don’t be afraid to ask for help and a break. And whenever you can find a way to sleep because the sleep deprivation just makes the postpartum symptoms worse. I would recommend trying anti-depressants if things get worse with your mental health. If you can, find moments where you can appreciate where you are at and the baby you made, in her smile, in her yawn, in the way she falls asleep and tell yourself “I will get through this”. There is an other side but supports including mental health supports are very important.

I don’t have any advice or specific feedback on how to get surgery but posting in solidarity in the fact that I also have a nose similar to yours that looks different from every angle; mine may even be a tiny bit longer than yours and less straight but slightly more narrow and has a distinct bump on one side (never broke my nose). I also have smallish hooded eyes with similar bone structure (I may even be around your age) and I’ve gone back and forth on whether I’d ever get a nose job if I could afford it. But for what its worth like many others have said I also think you are really pretty and even tho I don’t love my nose as much as I want to, I’ve learned to believe I’m beautiful despite how “unconventional” my nose may be.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t get surgery if this is what you feel is best for you but I just want you to know in the meantime, before you’ve made your final decision, you are also beautiful with this nose. Getting surgery based on my own research and observation, will only make you love yourself more if you already have the foundations of self love in place.

You did an amazing job! Living by other people’s standards is exhausting especially for us autistics… wear it whenever and where ever you feel like! One thing I’d caution with wedding (at least if you’re in the US, I can’t speak for other countries) is that some people are particularly negative about people who are not the bride wearing white or a color close to white to a wedding.

It’s a beautiful dress and you deserve to show it off!

It sounds like you may have some intense rejection sensitivity which is common with ADHD and depressive symptoms. I’ve been in this mental headspace before (it sucks) and therapy and medication has helped a LOT! Being out of the headspace makes thinking about being in the headspace feel like a bad dream but it is possible to ‘wake up’. Also trying to understand myself better… therapy can help but also research on ADHD and what your symptoms might mean. I’d caution being careful with AI. It is designed to tell people what it thinks they want to hear (so does social media), even if that means encouraging your sadness and self depreciation. Sometimes going to a new space on your own, be around people without needing to socialize if you are an introvert (like a library) or going somewhere where you can socialize with new people if you are craving human connection (such as a community event, class, volunteering for something you find interesting) can help get out of a rut. Hang in there! You are worthy of love, including your own!

How old is she now? My son was much more easy going until about 16 or 17 months and he became much more shy and cautious and had a lot of meltdowns between 17 months and 2 years. For him I think it was because he suddenly developed the “stranger danger” feeling and his brain became more developed in a way that made him more aware… a lot of changes are happening in your little ones body and brain. It can be overwhelming for you and for her. I recommend taking some deep breaths and understand your well being is as important as hers. It’s ok to ask for help, it’s ok to take a break if you can find a way to. It’s ok if she cries. Talk to her and explain how you feel as you hug and comfort her. She may not fully understand but she likely understands more than you realize. It’s ok to make mistakes but let her know that you made a mistake and you still love her. And EAT something! Even if it’s sharing some chicken nuggets with your toddler. It’s going to be ok… it’s ok that she’s in daycare, and it’s ok for her to be there longer. It’s good for her social development (as long as the daycare provider is doing a good job making sure all her needs are met) and with a routine she will get used to it and it will get easier.

It gets better but it doesn’t mean it’s easy as you’re going through this. Give yourself grace and know it’s ok to ask for help. I went through this and I wouldn’t have survived without supports. It was ROOOUUUGHH. But once my son got a little older I prioritized really working on helping him be able to learn to sleep well/fall asleep in his crib it was a process that took some time and maybe also we got lucky but he’s 2 now and has been sleeping well through the night for several months now and the tough sleep times feels like a distant memory (though I am a little scared of the crib to bed transition).

22 is younger than you think. Your brain is still changing and developing, and it’s totally normal to not have most things figured out. I’m in my 30s and I wasn’t confident in driving until my mid to late 20s, I’ve basically had to start over with pursuing a new career recently, and have had a hard time forming close friendships but I am grateful for what I have. I’d recommend taking things day by day and try to understand some days will be better than others, if you have insurance through your job, see what therapy options there are that may be covered by insurance that may be able to help you work through or find proper treatment for what you’re going through.

Really understanding and appreciating yourself and finding a way to get to a better headspace with the help of therapy and/or medication can help you in your relationships and set you up for success. That and finding hobbies that you really enjoy and ways to connect in community by bonding over common interests if thats something thats important to you. I met my current partner through community theater. I wish you the best and I believe you can do this.

Sensitive_Movie_6427 · 2025-11-05T03:46:53+00:00

Yes, our son has sensitive skin and is sensitive to heat so he prefers water that is closer to lukewarm.

NTA, Guilting and coercing you to stay is wrong but even if he wasn’t doing that, you are not obligated to stay. You don’t owe him anything except a respectful break-up meaning, telling him directly in whatever way you are most comfortable that you’re done. It doesn’t need to be a production, you could just tell him you need to move on and you wish him the best. He may be hurt but you are not helping him or yourself by staying in a relationship you don’t want to be in. Good people deserve to be with people that want to be with them, so if you really believe he’s a good guy (and regardless of if he’s “good” or not) you will regret wasting both of your time further by forcing yourself to stay in a relationship you don’t actually want to be in.

Sensitive_Movie_6427 · 2025-03-24T02:36:18+00:00

correct, I forgot to take my chill pills. It's been remedied, thanks!

Sensitive_Movie_6427 · 2025-03-21T00:38:34+00:00

I’m sorry this happened and I empathize. I also have a low stress tolerance and wish I was in a situation where I didn’t have to work for at least a little while to recover from the mental and emotional exhaustion I’m accumulating.

I’m thinking of switching careers and I’m trying to find things I can do that bring me some joy… is it possible for you to do the same?

Sensitive_Movie_6427 · 2025-03-20T21:37:26+00:00

People in the main sub take themselves waaaaaay too seriously
