Hi all
I feel bad in writing this but I'm at a loss on how to move forward.
My partners romantic inclinations are gone, it's not fair on them to give specifics but it's to do with their mental health, they are seeking treatment
I'm really really struggling with this, I am trying to be as supportive as possible but it's eating away at me and it's hurting our relationship.
After being rejected by them I often withdraw and become sullen and appear to go in a childlike huff, I eventually come out of this state a few hours later , kiss and make up but this cycle keeps repeating itself
I'm deeply concerned about my behaviour after my rejection, i can't seem to find an answer whether it's a ADHD or AUTISM thing or just a human thing, I have been punching myself in the head as well due to the frustration of everything and I know that isn't good, I often feel sick to my stomach ,I want to scream and break things ( I don't do any of these) I'll withdraw from my partner, usually become mono syllabic (one word answers?) my partner knows that it has affected me but I will still claim that I'm ok, it's a horrible state to be in and affects the quality of the limited time we have with each other.
I don't see my partner a lot which probably leads to my expectations to be higher, I find my partner really attractive and I still want to be romantic with them
The rejection after rejection is really hurting, I'm in tears writing this, I love my partner to the ends of the earth but I don't know what to do, I don't want to lose them
I have read of a link between ADHD and hyper sexuality so maybe that's why this affects me as much, I'm grasping at straws here but I'm truly at a loss
Any thoughts guys would be appreciated, and please be kind , I am trying to be supportive of the difficulties my partners mental health but their mental health is now affecting mine and I'm trying to find a solution.
Thanks
