I’d argue your SO might not be displaying neurotypical behavior.

Between 50-85% of autistic spectrum people (plus a significant portion of people with PTSD or depression) experience Alexithymia, or significant difficulty in recognizing and analyzing their emotional state.

When I’m feeling bad, my SO frequently assumes I’m withholding the reason from him in some sort of passive-aggressive mindgame, and I have to remind him that I barely know what my mood is, let alone what’s causing it.

I’m getting better at it, but it’s a lot of work and I still regularly mistake stomachaches for anxiety.

Historically, there have been more socialist and/or communist states associated with the USSR than not. Especially when measured by population.
