Get yourself a partner that lets you give up. It took me years and multiple Pokemon games, loads of panic attacks, lots of anger for me to make the decision to give up on Pokemon. It plays havoc with my OCD and it really isn't nice. MULTIPLE titles because giving up is not something I am used to with the hyperfocus and the childhood trauma. Giving up wasn't something I was allowed. I was really trying to cogame but there are certain segments of Cyberpunk 2077 that have a similar impact to pokemon on the perfect/not perfect segments of my OCD and eventually it just irks and makes me angry and my wifish told me just uninstall it. Just give up. You won't disappoint me. I also generally really struggle to stay in English when I hear a German accent. I literally tell curious coworkers, "Ich bin nicht nach Deutschland umgezogen, um Englisch zu sprechen" ( en: I didn't move to Germany to speak English ) I also struggle near the boundaries of English and German to speak anything but strong Denglish. Especially when tired. My wifish recently said, "Just give up, I'm fluent in both. I stay in English for you but you face no such obligation." Relationships shouldn't just be trying and trying. They should also definitely give room to give up. Throw in the towel and for that to be relaxing instead of stressful and fighty. #relationshipgoals #mentalhealth
