MODERATORS
This is why I don’t discuss my ADHD with my partner.
My reply to this is;
“Everyone goes to the bathroom a few times a day, but if you’re going 100 times a day I think everyone would agree you should see a doctor about that.”
It is not about the action itself but the volume in which that action occurs.
