ADHD

I was just broken up with someone I was dating for 2.5 months. It is a short amount of time but I am devastated. I was blind-sided. He said he had trouble forming a deep connection with me. The ironic thing is everyone I know thinks this is insane, since I have a deep sense of self, am empathetic and easy to connect with and have several stable deep connections in my life with family and friends. He has ADHD and would forget things we talked about, would be inconsistent with plans and always was seeking a dopamine rush. My therapist just told me people with ADHD struggle to form connections with romantic partners because their brain is constantly jumping from place to place. It’s definitely possible that he just lost interest in me but I am wondering if anyone else had dealt with this.

Well im coming out of a 4 month situationship. I decided to leave even tho i didnt really want to. She’s too quick to anger and also has ADHD. I started tp feel like i was being used and manipulated and that’s where everything went to crap. I don’t know if I am being insecure or she’s just gaslighting but I just don’t want to be with someone who is unsure about me. I am miserable about it but I need a love I can trust that is real

i don't think adhd is a reason for it.. i have adhd and i would never forget the plans my ex made or what we talk about. maybe it's a guy thing? i know i'm deeply in love with my ex but maybe he just wasn't that much into you..
