I’m currently in the process of separating from my partner and it’s bringing out the worst in me. Every request or angry “what do you expect me to do about XYZ?” triggers my “shut it down!” response and I end up being selfish and heartless. The house is in my name, I pay all the expenses and give my partner an allowance (she does work part time though), so I’m in a very strong position and I really don’t want to abuse it. But OTOH I also can’t just give in to every demand or we’d be (I’d be) bankrupt in months.
Ugh, my AuDHD is not making this easy.
OK, rant over. I’m not really looking for advice, just a hug <3
