I’m not crazy, right? My partner’s habits can’t be normal...

Fair point. I will definitely do a better job of making sure he understands the issue.

He genuinely doesn’t enjoy doing much with me. He gets bored and frustrated. But I don’t believe it’s about me. It’s like he can no longer focus on anything. He can watch YouTube for hours and hours, but the second he sits down to read a book, he’s asleep (seriously, I’m not kidding when I say it takes a second...); or if we sit down to watch a show together, he won’t stop commenting on it, and always in a negative way. “I don’t know how you can watch this. I can’t suspend my disbelief. It doesn’t make sense, and this would never happen!” Coming from the guy who watches other people play fantasy video games.
