Hello, the following situation has befallen a friend of mine. I want to support her in any way I can. Here is what happened:
A man with untreated ADHD (43 years old) left his partner after 24 years because another woman was intensely pursuing him and wanted to have him. Her pursuit went on for eight weeks; she wouldn't give up and was absolutely determined to get him. Suddenly, the man's feelings for his wife vanished, and he left his wife and child for this new woman. The new relationship has now been going on for four months. In 2025, he was very moody and often irritable; he claimed that everything was "too much" for him—that everyday life was exhausting, his wife was exhausting, and that he simply wanted peace and quiet when he was at home. He would ask his wife to create to-do lists for renovating the house, only to turn around and accuse her of stressing him out and creating work for him.
What advice can be offered to my friend? How should she conduct herself?
Thank you very much!
