Hi.

[Zoy]

I was diagnosed at 52. I feel comfortable knowing its not me doing it rather a kind of worrying that makes it difficult to do certain things. I cannot tolerate chewing noises or high pitch humming.
My partner wants me to be honest and tell what bothers me. She does not cope with it when I tell her the truth.
Confused.

Hello I too have trouble with people chewing loud , high pitch frequencies, I just wear noise canceling headphones while people are eating and when tvs are on loud .I can still hear what people are saying , it just completely gets rid of the noises that bother me, in conjunction with the pressure of the band on my head . It is instantly comforting and helps .

"Women don't want to hear what men think. They want to hear what they think, in a deeper voice." The beginning of the end of my marriage was when I believed an invitation to share was sincere.

That was difficult to read, because most prefer honesty in relationships. So it must be like you are closed off, and not able to express yourself. Do you think your style is super blunt? And your SO isn't able to handle this?

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome! Alas, differences in communication styles and preferences it the bane of many a relationship. Hopefully you may be able to have a true heart-to-heart to find what adaptations and accommodations may help in reducing friction and misunderstandings.

Not convinced that quoting Bill Cosby is
necessarily an appeal to what could be called
wisdom.

He lost the attribution from me. Do you think that he never got anything right at all?

This. Bill Cosby destroyed his career instantly thanks to the allegations that were made against him.
