Trying to avoid a break up

« on: June 20, 2022, 03:50:44 PM »

I just found out about this site. I think my significant other has this diagnosis. Some of the conversations we have had in the past are spot on with examples from the book Stop walking on Egg Shells. I don't know how to help him or how to bring it up...I believe our relationship is worth saving...any advise would be most helpful...
