  • He's been like this for years. Very quick to anger and lacks the understanding I need. Now I know I can't just hide behind my ADHD and autism and act however I want. But then he belittles me for being angry when I drop something (I go for a loud "Fuck!" directed at nothing and then I proceed with what I'm doing) or when he tells me how much he hates it when I shut down and act weird when the tension at home is too much and I explain that it's an autistic trait that I can't help. I'm not rude, I don't shout at him I just... Can't cope. I think I deserve basic understanding and respect from the one I'm with.

    I don't think he'd ever hit me. Then again I've always backed away when it's tense.

    I now know that seeing as he's always been super cute and affectionate the day after we've had an argument that's likely also a part of the abuse.

    I don't think he knows himself what he's doing and that it's as harmful as it is. Maybe that's why it's so difficult for me to cope with it.

    • It's not okay for him to treat you badly.

      • I ended it. I feel relieved. Now it will be a couple of anxious months before everything is out of the way. Been sleeping on friends couches. Going back today because I need to change clothes and make sure there isn't tons of moldy shit in the sink and garbage littering everywhere.
