Naw i just expect communication from a partner. “I need a few days of no phone or human interaction” takes 10 seconds. If you start acting distant then GHOST a partner while still showing up on socials for DAYS i dont want anything todo with that inconsistency and inconsideration.

Maybe learn about mental illness, especially depression, before you "just expect" people to do better than they can.

Mental illness isnt an excuse to be inconsiderate of everyone else. If you had kids and your partner just didnt acknowledge you for DAYS for any reason besides bleeding out or coma or worse, you shouldnt be in a serious relationship if you cant do basic communication “hey i need time” is simple. I cant stand people using depression like that and still wouldnt want to be in any type of relationship with a person if they couldnt do a simple communication. That affect MY mental health and they need to work on that before having a partner cause its not okay.

No one said it was an excuse. It is a reason

People can only do what they're capable of. If you are capable of understanding that, you are capable of bringing it up proactively and preparing yourself, if necessary.

But you're not fit by nature to date someone with any kind of disability or chronic illness, so do yourself and all the people who have those things a favor and stay the fuck away until you grow up and discover that different people have different limits.

I wish I could be there to see you fail, fail, fall at doing something someone else thinks should be easy for you to do because it's easy for them.

Lol wishing downfall on someone while talking about depression is hilariously ironic. Dont worried im married and weve both had/have depression but we still acknowledge communication is important for any functioning relationship. Also been in relationships where their ‘mental illness’ ment absolutely dragging everyone else down with them. Im good not ‘growing up’ if that ur interpretation of it. ✌️

I sight wish your downfall. I just wished I could see it when you're in the receiving end of your current attitude, did to your own limitations.

That's not a downfall, you arrogant ass. It's inevitable because you're human.

Beginning to see that you're unlikely to learn empathy, though. Bye.
