Ending a relationship

Hey all. I have asd and my partner has severe adhd. I've supported him over the past few years, and I was the one who suggested adhd to him. He's fully medicated, asking with various other drugs to treat his anxiety and depression.

Problem is now, he's so bloody negative and his monologuing is getting worse. He'll talk at me for 2 hours about shit. Can't watch a TV programme without him talking all the way through, his food issues are getting worse, so he gets hangry. I just can't cope with him anymore and I need quiet. Thing is, he's going to be devastated. I'm really going to hurt him. I'll worry about what he'll do. I'll be cutting all contact when it's done so I don't get sucked back in. It's so hard!

You can't let your worry about what he will do affect your decision if you are not happy.
ADHD or not, you don't need to stay with him if you don't want to.

Explain the problem to him then he can choose whether or not he tries to help resolve the issues. I suppose it depends on how much control he has over the talking.

He's not great at helping himself. It's gone past the point of no return now, his grumpiness is too much for me.

I'm sorry to hear this. Do you have plans in place to get your own place etc.?

Luckily we don't live together.
