So continuing the analogy, to “not hand my wife a credit card,” I need to stop having conversations with her? Speak in short sentences that are harder to interrupt?
Nah, we’ll keep trying to improve ourselves and keep communicating with each other.
Sorry if you don’t want to feel bad about interrupting people.
It’d make more sense to compare it to another neurological disorder. Maybe BPD. One of the symptoms of bipolar disorder is impulse control.
If your partner is in a hyper manic state and keeps banging bar randos, that’s still disrespectful even if it’s a symptom of their disorder.
If they run up a credit card debt because it causes them tremendous mental effort to not buy things on a whim, it’s still harmful.
Now you might get into a relationship knowing these are possibilities, but you’re still hurt and/or damaged by them. It would make sense for you to make rules about your partner trying to get help and curb the hurtful behaviors.
And my wife is awesome. I don’t look down on her at all, I just get hurt feelings when I can’t get through a story after trying multiple times. I also have ADHD and 9 out of 10 times my thought is long gone by the time she’s done interrupting me.
Just because it’s part of your diagnosis doesn’t mean it’s not rude.
I’m not going to be like “man I love being interrupted. It really makes the conversation fun.”
Just letting you know that it’s very appreciated.
My wife interrupts a lot and after a while it can make me feel under valued.
So you’re saying as long as it happens once a quarter or so, the stocks will remain too low to sell…
I’ve had three in the last 6 months. All user error, but I’m getting better.
Daammn some poser samurais are going to get zeroed just trying to make a few eddies.
