Autistic safe person breakup

Hey, I know that all relationships are different and I'm not looking for direct advice, but just curious as to how other people have experienced this.

My partner has audhd and has said many times that I am their safe person. They struggle making friends and don't have much of a family so (to me) a lot of pressure has fallen on me in that role.

I am looking to step away from the relationship but whenever I talk to my partner, she follows our conversations with a meltdown and says she doesn't have a safe person and doesn't feel safe any more.

Can anyone explain their experiences with this and things that may have been helpful or things that made it worse?

Thank you

How do I design a garden to help bring in community and be solar punk?

I am buying a house because fuck landlords. I'm being kicked out of my place by 'no fault' and I've had enough of living at the whims of another money hording person being a dick.... Ok rant part over... This new house is old and a bit beat up but solid enough to start a life in. It also has a big (by my standard) garden which I have no idea what to outside of just 'plant stuff'. I don't have measurements or know the size of anything, but I want to somehow give some of my space to those who don't have any and make it a place to share. Does anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

Do you write up your books once you've finished reading?

So I have 'just started reading'. After a lifetime of being dyslexic and thinking I disliked books, I've realised that if I find something in my wheel house and with a little perseverance of getting over the inital hump, I'm really enjoying it. However a few months after reading a book, I've kind of forgotten the finer points and details I enjoyed. Does anyone write up books they've read and what tips have you got/do you have any templates?
