I am struggling to endure a marriage with a man who is quick to anger and punish when 1) forget to tell him my schedule 2) forget to update him about my schedule 3) forget to call him at a specified time 4) forget to plan events twice a month for us to do 5) don't specifically plan something for us to do every night and 6) forget to "plan & go" to him for sex 3 times a week.
Though these may not seem so difficult, I have ADHD and am currently completing a graduate school program and have struggled to remember things for awhile. He did earn a college degree but seems to lack the ability to reason about what the difference is between ability and desire. I do have the desire to do things right but I don't have the proper brain for it; unfortunately he hasn't been exposed to many neurodivergent people or those who have taken completely different paths in life. Ultimately, his priors and schema for how things work are defined by his willful ignorance ( doesn't want to read, or learn about my challenges--says they are excuses) and the feedback he receives from people with limited knowledge experiences (they have lived in the same hometown and most of them haven't had education beyond high-school).
My purpose in giving background about his families education is not to sound elitist, but I guess because I think about things from a logical standpoint. Statistically, the odds of a person being able to develop insights about something like what my experiences are are very small because its not generalized to the whole population. God is all-knowing and therefore is aware of my limitations as I am too. I don't want to have resentment, anger, hopelessness from not being understood. Rather, he doesn't want to until I do everything perfectly.
I ask that the error of his ways and thinking is revealed to him and he apologizes for his punitive mindset. I ask for cleansing of my own heart and mind so I am not tempted to enact revenge.
