How to cope with VERY sensitive boyfriend?

[Anonymous]

My boyfriend is very VERY sensitive about things that a lot of people aren’t. And it’s beginning to annoy me. He does have ADHD, so it’s understandable that he’s more sensitive, but he’ll make a huge deal out of small things that generally get ignored. For instance, he doesn’t understand how I can swallow vitamins, because they ‘bother his throat’ or they need to be smooth or else he just can’t deal or makes a big fuss about it. Sometimes I think he does it for an attention grab, in which I ignore him instead of being like “awe I’m so sorry sweetie”. I don't know
Am I an asshole?

I think your boyfriend has been misdiagnosed, his symptoms point more to generalized-high-functioning autism or alternatively aspergers.

You should have him get reevaluated by psychological professionals.

As well as reevaluate your willingness to commit to this reality. As this will not change, but get more challenging.

Having ADHD doesn't give your boyfriend a free pass to act however he wants. You have to set boundaries with him. Be firm and clear about exactly what you are and are not willing to tolerate from him, and don't deviate from it.

no you're not.. he does realize there are things such as pill cutters right? look if he keeps acting that way and he can't grow some balls and toughen up to stupid shit like that then you need to drop him and find yourself a real man

So basically you only want a guy that shares your opinions... I see.

You have to accept him for who he is, or you need to dump him - people don't change.

No, he is. What are you getting out of this?

By dumping.
