I am interested in hearing from everyone.  What are your "funniest" or most amusing moments in your ADHD marriage?  Someone on this forum described an incident in which her husband got sidetracked grilling corn in his old clothes at their son's wedding and I laughed until I cried.  It felt SO GOOD to read this because it is the story of my life in a nutshell and so ridiculous that it is difficult to even comprehend.  But, it happens, and we cope and eventually it becomes more funny than mortifying.  So, here goes with mine:  it isn't funny like "ha, ha, ha" but funny because it is just so t

Hi all,

It has been a long time since I have posted here. A situation occurred tonight that, for the life of me, I cannot get my arms around. Yet again in the realm of the ADHD Giant a simple, stupid activity becomes a major confrontation. Buckle up and climb aboard!

My wife ( ADHD ) and I agree that she should run to the store to get a few items while I am cooking dinner. As we are talking the list grows to a total of five items. She announces that there are too many things on the list and demands that I write them down.

Okay-brace yourself for a big vent.  DH is 49, unmedicated ADHD.  We have been married for 23 years, god help me.  We have two sons, ages 18 and 16.  We did a big splurge trip with each son with dad (I am a terrible traveler).  A few years ago DH and the older one went to Costa Rica.  The younger one chose Peru.  So-last year's end of the year bonus (before he got fired) paid for the trip.

Hello, 

As many of you have, my husband and I have gone through many ups and downs. We are finally on a positive streak with his medication well adjusted, he has a great team of doctors, he had a positive career change, and he's becoming himself again. There's just one problem. The past 5 years have been so focused on getting him well that one important piece was missed...me. 

Today I just feel wrecked.  Same shit different day, and after 21 years, that's a lot of days and a lot of shit.  All we do is argue anymore and the time it takes to reconnect afterward gets longer and longer.  If I am being honest, I am not sure we really are reconnecting rather than just putting on another layer of battle armor and soldiering on to fight another day.  So, today, here is how ADHD is affecting my life.  My husband knew I had scheduled a get together tonight in our home after a neighbor asked me to host a small product party for her launch as a consultant.
