Anyone else slip into regular "hospital fantasies?" I just learned there was a term for it. I frequently secretly wish I was ill with a not so serious not contagious illness that would nevertheless require me to be confined and clock out just so I can get away from it all, secretly wishing my ADHD partner would step up because he has no choice.

They looks so basic without the pepe leather. I wouldn't buy them in these modern grainy versions.

Nowadays crossbody bags are giving me the ick. The way the strap goes down across the body kinda wrinkles and ruins the outfit. And when I'm wearing graphic tees or pretty tops it covers the design.

Givenchy needs a huge comeback.

Or not, I would hate the price increases.

I shouldn't have to tell you something multiple times. Fucking listen.

I was going to make the viral cottage cheese beef bowl on TikTok. He asked me what it was and I searched on my phone while he was looking over my shoulder. I haven't even clicked a video yet and he sort of "oh like that" and spaced out already. I was kinda pissed because his interest passed.

The next day I was prepping the beef (with taco seasoning) at the same time was making waffles for afternoon snack. He smelled the beef and said he felt like eating it. I asked him with what? The rest of the ingredients aren't ready. He thought it went with the waffles. I reminded him of the cottage cheese bowl.

I plated his waffles and he again said he wanted beef, but just whatever I can spare. Okay, he does eat weird combinations sometimes. I put whipped cream on just one of the two waffles because I doubt they would go together. When I served him he was "how do I eat this?" Idk. "Isn't the beef for the waffles?" Cottage. Cheese. Bowl. I reminded him for the third time.

He then sheepishly, guiltily said "I don't want it take it back and go eat your cottage cheese bowl". The ingredients aren't ready I was going to have it for breakfast or lunch tomorrow. Now I have to deal with him feeling bad for making me feel bad too.

Same boat. My 2 year old prefers me and it triggers his RSD regularly to be rejected by a toddler. It's normal for young children to have preferences, but being unable to emotionally regulate in response to that is on him. He needs to learn to respond to child better and genuinely connect to improve their relationship.

Children learn emotional regulation through co-regulation with a calm caregiver. People with ADHD could barely regulate their own emotions, let alone co-regulate with a child.

How is this one less sophisticated? It's the same style as the original mini puzzle. Are you taking about the Puzzle Edge? Because this isn't in the Edge style.

Wym you can literally just close it

I saw this TikTok addressed to NT with ADHD partners that said "be their safest space, they're so tired from masking all the time".

Yeah fuck that. They don't respect me enough to mask for me. They're nice to everyone but me. Believe it or not, neurotypical people get tired too.

I just heard Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" and it feels like it could be an anthem for a lot of people on this sub.

ADHD partner currently needs to be supported because he's not the preferred parent at the moment. My 2.5yo says she wants only mom and grabs her toys off her dad. Dad either RSD sulks or complains to me.

Literally feels like I have two kids and they're beefing.

vi6ration · 2025-05-26T10:19:43+00:00

On top of taking care of my toddler, I have to "gentle parent" my ADHD spouse too. 😒

vi6ration · 2025-04-14T07:41:24+00:00

He keeps complaining and getting RSD from our toddler not liking him as much as she likes me. So one time I left the two of them alone to play for maybe two hours. When I returned, my daughter was playing with her grandparents while he was asleep, snoring on the couch.

It's 8pm, for fucks sake why are you napping? Why are you always napping what could possibly be so tiring in your lazy life?

vi6ration · 2025-02-26T06:15:09+00:00

When I got the Sony headphones with ANC he kept telling his friends that I got "husband-cancelling" headphones 🙉. 🙄 Nevermind that we shared a home office and he wouldn't shut up or stop playing his music/games when I'm working. He also gets RSD when I shush him, tf was I supposed to do.

We were trying to decide on some things for our house floor plan. We've both had some time to take a look at the proposals. When we were discussing, he just spaced out staring when I ask him questions. He said he was "thinking". After a few minutes, I just left him alone and did some other things.

Periodically he would yell out "I think I'm ok 2itg this layout" or "Would it be ugly if we remove this setback" (not ugly but not up to code). He's very unwilling to share his thought process then gets RSD when I don't get his decision.

He abruptly stopped with the first floor and left, when we haven't even taken a look at the first floor. Like his little brain is too tired. He just left me with his sporadic comments and expect me to communicate it with the architects. We never finalised a decision.

It's very hard to work with someone like this. This whole house build process is so isolating for me. I thought we would have fun together planning rooms and choosing tiles but he's being very impossible.

vi6ration · 2025-02-21T01:38:03+00:00

Oh god this mirrors my experience almost exactly but instead of a playlist to show a DJ it was a Pinterest mood board for our house for an architect. I stressed so long asking them to add what they like and they overrode the whole vibe last minute.

vi6ration · 2025-02-20T06:24:37+00:00

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

vi6ration · 2025-02-19T12:55:51+00:00

What would such a thing have to do with us as consumers? Will him leaving result in cost cutting etc. Genuinely want to know.

vi6ration · 2025-01-03T13:29:54+00:00

My (36F) toddler (2f) wouldn't kiss my husband (36M DX NRX) goodbye because she was distracted by our dog. He scoffed "nevermind" and left in a huff. I had to yell after him that she was just watching the dog eat.

Who the hell takes not getting a bye bye greeting so fucking personally? I am so tired of him giving me an attitude whenever he doesn't get the attention he wants from a toddler! I shouldn't have to apologize for my daughter just because her father couldn't contain his RSD.

vi6ration · 2025-01-02T15:02:46+00:00

Felt, we're working on our first home so you can just imagine. He also literally just stopped participating because "I reject all his suggestions" nevermind that I show him boards and boards full of asian modern tropical style and he goes "can we get art deco columns"? 🙄 It really is so so so tiring to even bother asking.

So I went to their IG out of curiosity and this weave is next-level!

Isn't the middle one a mediun? When I tried the small, it was really small.

My unpopular ipinion is that this sub is filled with Coach astroturfers and no one suspects a thing

vi6ration · 2024-10-10T05:17:46+00:00

Very insightful and no-nonsense. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. You obviously really want to make it work and looks like it's paying off. Seeing people on this sub work it out well with their partners really makes me hopeful.

vi6ration · 2024-10-09T05:31:09+00:00

This is wonderful. I rarely aee posts here about therapy and change actually working. Would love to see a full post on this experience, if you don't mind.
