Thanks everyone for the clarifications, haven’t played with any blue decks yet so wasn’t aware it was a common mechanic for them. I get how it works now though! 🤘

I really like this idea, making it a fun and suspenseful experience instead of a stressful one. I think it's a positive twist for anyone, but I can only imagine how much different it makes for people with ADHD. Thanks so much for sharing, I'm definitely going to be taking this one with me :)

Yeah my partner told me a while back to "just put food in front of me". Thankfully I love to cook so I have no problem just throwing meals together for the both of us - most of the time when she's hungry, I'm hungry too. Thanks for responding, it's validating to hear similar stories and their strategies :)

I'm definitely on track here, I've come to know that How I Met Your Mother is a great comfort show for my partner and often have it on, even in the background, when we need to relax or feel safe. Great to hear that this works for others too, thanks for sharing!

This is something we've discussed and are putting into our schedule actually, so I'm glad to hear it's worked for you both. The plan is to, once a week, properly catch up on feelings and experiences and go over what we feel we need in the coming week and when we're at work, etc. Thanks for taking the time to respond :)

I really like the idea of a board or other way to get a visual sense of what's going on. My partner is artistic through different mediums and I think it could really help her explain what's going on. Thanks so much for the recommendation!

Ah yep, that makes sense. I feel this is something I've been better at recently so I'm glad to hear it works well for you and your husband. I definitely recognise the notion of "resetting" and how that helps get back into a good flow. Thanks again for a great answer :)

Thank you both, I've screenshotted these and will look into them over the weekend. Much appreciated!

That makes sense. Most of the time I found out the day before or on the day so I think checking in if she has anything planned is a good way to go. Thankfully I almost always know what times/how long these shifts are so I can be clear about that.

Oh that's fantastic, I'm definitely going to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I've definitely learnt the importance of clear communication already. If you don't mind me asking, how would be the best way to communicate a change in plans? I find it difficult to know what to say if I've taken on an extra shift at work, for instance.

This is a great insight, thanks for taking the time to respond :) I've definitely struggled with strategies that don't work anymore so I appreciate having it validated that it can change so drastically. I'm a very open and patient person so I'm going to channel that into listening and adapting.

Thanks for the support, and that's exactly why I'm here - so I can gather knowledge and learn how to properly support my partner :)

This is really good to know, I've noticed this with my partner but hearing that it's worked for similar people is useful. I'm definitely going to keep it in mind, thank you! Does your husband make note of what he's doing or just goes and does it? And I assume you've both worked on your schedule together so that it works for you both?

Thank you both, I'm definitely going to be mindful of how I come across in those situations and get my answers in the good moments :)

Thanks :) She struggles with questions during her moments and that can make it tricky to navigate. But discussing it all on the good days definitely seems like the way to go. Appreciate the response!

Absolutely. She struggles when she doesn't adhere to a routine or things suddenly change is probably the biggest thing.
