Partner says I talk too slow
Dx girlfriend constantly interrupts me and it is getting on my nerves. My first language isn’t English and I do take some time to think about what I say. Sometimes I will say the wrong word and she will immediately interject and correct me. Or I’ll be telling a story, or something I saw in the news, and she will interject and tell me I’m wrong. I don’t know, she makes me feel like I’m wrong all the time. I have done my best to be patient with her and have talked to her about this, that if she gave me just a couple seconds to finish my sentence, that I’ll be able to explain fully what I wanted to say or what I was feeling. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to talk to her when I’m feeling mentally unwell and instead of being given the time to actually speak, my feelings are explained to me instead.
Today she did it again, I was already having a shitty day, and I got fed up. While she interrupted me I talked over her and said that “well if you just let me talk for even a couple seconds, you would understand what I’m talking about instead of trying to explain my own feelings to me”, she went quiet for a couple seconds and told me that I speak too slowly. That I pause for a couple seconds so how is she supposed to know if I’m done talking or not. I was so flabbergasted that I didn’t even know what to say. I feel like every time I say something wrong or say the wrong word, she always rushes to correct me, or if I take “too long” she inserts her own thought on what I may be feeling instead of actually just listening. I’m not sure how to tackle this, it makes me not want to talk to her. It’s just frustrating that there wasn’t any apology from her, but that my way of speaking is inconvenient for her.
