Why does my boyfriend ignore me when I make small talk or ask about his day?

[Anonymous]

Like how rude. Like today when it was nice outside. I said, “The weather is so nice outside.” He doesn’t respond. He never responds when I bring up the weather. Or when I ask how his day was. He doesn’t answer. He just goes straight to the conversation. I ask him why doesn’t he respond when I talk about the weather once in a while. No answer. He just shook his head. How rude. Why don’t people just ANSWER THE DAMN QUESTION? I might break up with him if he ignores me again.
We’re supposed to communicate. I’m autistic and he had ADHD.

That is just rude and maybe he is only thinking of himself. Has it affected your sex life with him also? I

We never had sex. We’ve only been dating for two months

Well the way he is acting do not have sex with the dude. Let him stick to jerking off.

Most men don't like smalltalk. Especially IT guys...

Are there much misunderstandings or do you understand in important questions each other and find solutions without one sided compromise?

Why is he still your boyfriend? Doesn't sound like much of a relationship.

Yeah, that’s rude and dismissive, and your frustration is valid. But this looks less like “he doesn’t care” and more like “ADHD + poor social skills + emotional laziness.”

Some people with ADHD absolutely suck at small talk and only lock in on “direct, purposeful” conversation. Still, ignoring your questions and shaking his head is a communication red flag.

Tell him clearly: “When you don’t answer my questions, I feel ignored and disrespected. I need you to respond, even briefly.” Then watch his actions. If he still can’t give you basic acknowledgment, breaking up isn’t dramatic, it’s self-respect 💅
