I have the same with my guy & I tested the water by just saying what I wanted to talk about as I figured I could more easily just say my peace rather than asking him to change. It has pretty much self-resolved as he listens and then engages and asks clarifying questions.
It’s kinda been nice to realise it’s okay to talk about myself without prompting. I can see it really assisting with open communication between us.
This is great advice, I’ve noticed with some people they don’t think to ask, but there’s nothing wrong with offering the information yourself. And as someone with adhd, try not to overthink it.

Hope you work something out that suits you too. 🖤

RSD go brrrr
This is great, thank you :) I reckon that’s how we will do it.
Hope it works out!
If not, talking through your perspective & feelings is a great start to showing them why it holds importance to you.
