I just joined this site and boy am I glad I did! My husband and I have been married almost 2 years and have been together for 6. I always new that he had ADD and it was never really an issue. When he and I first started dating, he was on his medication for it and he was everything I wanted in a person, (fun, sweet, family oriented, responsible, caring.. the list goes on). One day he stopped taking his medication and just changed, became lazy, irresponsible, never wanted to be around his family, was doing bad in school, making bad decisions.

Hi All,

How do you deal with an ADHD husband that can't/won't hold down a job? I have been the breadwinner for the duration of our marriage (13 years) and realize I have enabled him to "do his own thing" without concern about helping to support our family. He has held a couple of jobs for more than 2 years and he also likes to start his own businesses, but in either case when he runs into difficulties or has conflicts with others, he jumps ship. I know I've allowed this to go on for a long time, so how do I start dealing with this or is it too late?

Does anyone else have this problem with their spouse?  My husband will leave doors open all the time - back door, front door, garage door, microwave oven door, cabinet doors.

Hey everyone, I've written about this on here before but I am back.  I am 32 and my husband is 30.  We've been married for a year and together for five.  For the first 4 years, I was in law school at night will working full time, then graduated and was studying for the bar exam at night while working full time, then just tense waiting for results and hoping i'd have a job.

I have been married for 34 years was diagnosed about 12 years ago with ADD, Bipolar, and Depression. My husband has no sympathy, support, caring, or understanding for me. I lose things then that makes me irresponsible. I am an impulsive shopper no matter ho hard I want to stay on the list. I have begged for hep with this and my kids and my husband all think I should just change my behavior. I am constantly late. I try's hard. Noe I am writing the time for my appointment to be earlier but he still thinks I am irresponsible. I am messy . He hates it.

Not Respecting Other People versus Being Unaware and not showing respect for other peoples' belongings, time, or space.

I'd like to hear what others, including those diagnosed with add, think about this.

My husband is diagnosed both npd and add. He definitely has unawareness, but I've also seen clearly that he has no respect for other people as valuable individuals in their own right.

Let me preface this post by saying that I don't believe in anything supernatural. I have no religion, and I am not in any way (even vaguely) spiritual. I'm being facetious.

So this morning we set out early and drove almost an hour away to an apple orchard. One of those "you-pick" agri-tourism outfits where you pay for a basket and you let the kids tear through their orchard having fun picking apples. We do these kinds of things mainly because my wife was at one time a professional photographer, and it is a good backdrop for fall pictures of the kids.
