I have been single for 3 years and during this time I have been involved in 4 relationships. Every relationship has a common theem I will work very hard to get the girl of my dream but as time goes by (4 to 6 months) I will get board with the relationship and brake up. 

I was diagnosed with ADHD 5 years ago and take meds but no counseling. 

I am trying to see if this is related to ADHD or my past marriage (a very bad marriage)

Thanks

Jay

I am going to try and keep this short.

I am 58 male and recently become aware that i have adhd. I have an appointment in late April with a psychologist to look at treatment options.

I have become aware of this because I have been in a long distance relationship,with diagnosed ADHD, that has affected in such a deep way, that my emotions have been out of control. TOTALLY.

First of all, I'm new here. Just registered tonight so bear with me if the topic was addressed earlier and I missed it.

Hi,

Firstly, I'm the one with the disorder(s).  I have OCD, ADHD and a BONUS eating disorder.  In order to be successful, I must have a plan, make advanced preparations and a stable routine.  After 10 years of dating, in my infinite wisdom, I agreed to marry my long time partner and his alcoholism.  We are fast approaching our 2nd anniversary and I am fast approaching a full scale lock me in the psych ward meltdown.  

Hi, I know this site is about adhd and marriage but I couldn't find anything else. I have been with my boyfriend for over a year now and we have talked about marriage, kids and living together. But he gets so angry and it worries me alot. He's agitated in the mornings so I don't know what to expect or say to him. He can be angry on the phone at night and have a go at me, saying I won't have a good career and that everything including my family is stupid and he wants nothing to do with it. He has a go at me if something goes wrong. He calls me a liar sometimes. He always has to.be right.

The longer I am in this marriage with an ADHD person and raising an ADHD son, the more I think it's me that is the problem.  I am only half kidding.  My son is going to be 16 in May and he is basically a great kid--has a job, clean cut, swim team and water polo, grades--up and down.  Here's what I don't get--he makes so many odd assumptions and then gets mad at me when I don't get on board.  For example, he currently has mostly Cs in high school.  He doesn't try very hard, isn't fussed if things are late, satisfied with mediocre and yet--wants to go to UCLA.

Hi all,

I'm new here. Hoping for some help, insight, support. My husband of 12+ years was diagnosed last year We also have two children who are diagnosed. I have always loved him. I thought we had a happy marriage. But apparently he hid a lot of things from me.

Hello!

I am tired of time always getting away from me. I can start a task that I think will take 10 minutes, and before I know it two hours have passed! I have been searching for an app that will make my phone alert me to the passage of time, preferably without any input from me. I was thinking of something along the lines of an alert every hour, like an old fashioned clock would do. I have found plenty of apps for alerting me to deadlines, and some that I can program to start a timer when I start a task, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Suggestions?
