My dyspraxic boyfriend and his ,,bad days"
Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2014 6:27 pm
Hi everyone
I'm 22 and new here.
So my boyfriend (23) has dyspraxia and we have been going out for 4 years. We're really happy with each other as we accept each other's ,,flaws".
Sometimes it can be very hard though.
When he is having a ,,bad day" he seems to go on and on about a certain thing,which he all of a sudden gets thoughtful about, for example when he feels like nobody has ever taken him seriously in school. Then he feels like the whole world is against him and is convinced he is the unluckiest person when it comes to socialising.
So what he tends to do is talk to me about his feelings and experiences, which I know off by heart because he keeps telling me the same stories over and over again.
It got to a point, where I just listen nowadays without saying anything, as I have done before, where he gets offended and feels like I'm not interested, which is not true at all.
I wonder if anyone can relate to what he's feeling?
I want to be there for him and support him the best I can!
Really looking forward to hearing your experiences
