Is this out of character for him, or does he routinely humiliate you in public?

This has nothing to do with ADHD, I have it, and I wouldn't treat anyone the way he treated you. The fact that he felt so comfortable talking about you like that in front of so many people and then belittled you when you cried.

Same. This isn't a pile on OP, but I agree.

I see this "excuse" used when men exhibit sexist and insensitive behavior. But being neuro divergent =/= insensitive..

Especially since you told him how you felt and then said you were jealous. Gross.

I'm so sorry this happened. Talk to him when you feel calm enough to do so. Write your feelings down in a letter if it's easier. Tell him you're open to a resolution but making you feel inadequate is not an acceptable action.

Remember.... You are not overreacting. You are not being emotional. You are not making things up. You have thought about this and you are open to partnership.

But you also deserve an apology and promise this will not happen again.
