  • 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.
