Absolutely no sympathy from husband when I'm sick! In fact, it seems to be my fault!

Anger, Frustration & ADHD

I just got back from a trip and most likely caught a cold from someone on the plane ride home. Friday afternoon he gets home from work and goes to give me a kiss and I tell him that he shouldn't kiss me because I'm getting a scratchy throat and most likely a cold and his response isn't one of sympathy, instead it's "Greeeeeeat! That's just great! Now I'm going to get sick! Thanks a lot!" And that was just with a scratchy throat. The next morning I woke up with chills and a fever of over 100°. I sit on the couch and tell him I've got a fever. Once again I get "That's great!

Support for the ADHD Partner

I've been with my husband for over 15 years. We met in college and married 5 years later. We had similar nerdy habits (reading, documentaries) and he was very into me. For years before and after we were married we fought very little. He was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age and took medication. Our disagreements tended to be around him not doing whatever it was he was supposed to do, and he promised to get help but over and over quits whatever it is he attempts. He is very loving and completely co-dependent.

Families with ADD Kids

My husband has been diagnosed with ADD/Bipolar. We have four children, ages 1 to 8 years. There are characteristics that I recognize in our eldest three children that make me highly suspicious that they also have ADD (maybe bipolar) to varying degrees. We have never had them tested largely because we wanted to avoid doing so until it was necessary. They are homeschooled so the ADD-like symptoms have not been the serious issue they would be if they were schooled in the traditional setting.

Progress You are Making and Hope

Last week we had a blip. Husband had his w/e all mapped out. Friday night after work tying flies in readiness to go fishing. Fishing all day Saturday. Football on Sunday. I knew this was going to happen. It wasn't sprung on me as has happened all too often in the past. On Sunday after the football he came home and  watched the re-run on TV. And after that he switched over to watch a football review programme. And then he watched X Factor. Prior to this on the Friday night I knew I was too tired to cook and suggested that we pop into our local pub to eat.

Ridiculous call to me from H!

So I was out of state visiting my Mom for a week and just got back yesterday. H did not go with me. On the 3rd day of my visit I receive a call from H. I did not have my phone on me at the time and didn't get the voice mail until the next morning. I noted the time he called as 9PM on a Saturday night. I listen to it and he says "Can you PLEASE not empty my trash in the garage? I had a part for my motorcycle sitting on top of the garbage can and it had fallen in. I normally wouldn't have left it there but seeing as how the trash wasn't full I didn't see it as a problem.

I just don't know if I can do it anymore

Anger, Frustration & ADHD

My husband left me and our son 8 weeks ago.  We have been married 29 years so it is a big adjustment for me. At this point my husband says he is not getting any kind of help (he doesn't think he needs it) and is not coming back.  He threatens divorce just about every time I talk to him. He's said this so many times I can't count.
