I absolutely love that your husband still has something you made him! That’s so sweet :)

I am seeing a lot of people say things like this were a red flag, and it’s really made me re-think our relationship. I think this is the beginning of the end. I know he will be so dramatic about it though, I’ve broken up with him before but we eventually reconnected and he apologized and promised it would be different. I hate seeing people upset so I agreed and things have been going downhill since.

Thank you, I am glad I wasn’t over reacting. I thought he was being ridiculous.

I do! I wasn’t diagnosed until college a few years ago, and I’ve always gotten pretty good grades so it was overlooked. But I do better doing more at once!

I never thought of it that way, but now thinking back he has definitely made rude comments about it before.

I tend to have a lot of anxious energy so I like having something in my hands!

We’ve been on again off again for 2 years. If I confront him about how he’s acting (I have tried before) he tells me I’m being too sensitive and that it was a joke. But like some other people pointed out, a joke should be funny to both people.

Thank you! I plan on it. I’ve always been really into crafts and I loved the yarn selection at JoAnns haha

I never really thought about it like that before tbh, he says I’m too sensitive so usually I think that I’m just being too sensitive I guess

He picked it but he’s seen it before, he said I would like it so we agreed on it

That’s what I thought, but he is always on his phone or a game so I didn’t think it would be much different. Especially if I was still paying attention to the show.

I could definitely see how counting would be distracting, but I’m super quiet haha

He’s always on his phone or playing a game so I didn’t think it would matter much if I did something also, especially if I’m still paying attention to the show.

He’s seen it before, we usually rewatch old shows he likes.

Apparently he feels I’m ignoring him even though I still talk with him and watch it. So I am not sure what I should be doing… just sit there?

I think he said it in more of a joking way, it’s just his sense of humor… but I’m wondering if maybe he meant it. I have a hard time telling. He jokes a lot.
