What do you think of this statement?  Anyone have thoughts?

"There is something in the most inhumane part of human nature that enjoys hurting smaller and weaker beings, particularly if they annoy us or make demands on us."

This was said by someone with ADHD.   It has been haunting me ever since I heard it.  

My husband and I use that term simply because of the paper I signed... Looses everything and then blames everyone else..like a 5 year old. Currently he is looking for his drivers licence....because he never puts it in a wallet or somewhere safe..just strewns it around like everything else. Of course is the bloody kids fault, they have taken it..and lost it... Or perhaps it's my fault because I cleaned today and potentially moved it. Not his.. No not at all...he is not the stupid ass who didn't put it away. No...it's someone else's fault.. Maybe it's yours...yes you reading this...

Firstly, I'm so surprised I have found not only other people, but other spouses of ADD partners....I can't believe I'm not the only one... I thought it was just me...with what seems like a Man-child for a husband! I don't even know where to start...the lack of help around the house? The almost teenage response toward helping me..coming from a 31 year old man? The anger issues? The hoarding? The narcissistic attitude... Some days I want out. I fantasize a life of singledom..... I was a single mom before...

Hello all,

 

I've been lurking on this site reading posts and getting some support for a lot of the issues that my husband has, but of course, no two situations are exactly alike, so I've finally come to the conclusion I needed to get on here and ask a question myself.

Hi everyone

Hi. I'm new to this forum but I'm glad I found it. 

My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly 2 years and he is the absolute love of my life and the man I will marry and have a family with. We've overcome many obstacles with his ADHD and are still learning to work things out. However, there are a few things that have consistently been a struggle. I'm hoping you all can enlighten me with some other strategies.

I've hesitated from writing my success with managing my ADHD because I could tell that there was something that I was missing and I was right....and today i finally figured out what it was.

hello everyone :)

Long story short:  I have been with an undiagnosed ADHD boyfriend for three years.  I found this forum when one day I googled “chronic irresponsibility.”  I have done everything for my boyfriend.
