I was a mess and even though we were both hot to trot I did not want to enter into a relationship before getting my shit together.

It's been a few decades now but I'm sure that one day I will... not sure my wife will understand though ๐Ÿ˜‚

In my case, and in retrospect, it was in large part caused by undiagnosed ADHD and autism.

From a single sentence I wouldn't be able to say one way or the other whether it's something that affects you, but it was immensely helpful to look at a series of videos about "Adult ADHD" on YouTube. It became clear that a major portion of my issues could be attributed to my lack of knowledge about myself and these issues.
