Well, that was another crappy night of covering up your feet with the blanket so they don't get cold, then having you roll over taking all the comfort with you and leaving me totally exposed. 

What a petty thing for me to say. Sounds bad coming out of my fingers. That's why I'm saying it here, where someone might get what I mean. 

Well, our relationship just reached a new low this evening although I'm sure it won't be the last. 

Every year, right after the holidays, my husband gets the itch to leave.  The holidays are a stressful time for a lot of people, and between all the family obligations, spending money on gifts, and having vacation time but not being able to do anything because of said family obligations and no money leftover for a trip, I can tell he once again feels bored in the relationship and puts the blame squarely on me.

Hello, just found this site and hope to learn alot.  Here is my situation:   I am in a relationship with a 45 year old male with ADHD.  He takes meds (concerta) and I have only known him since he has been taking it (so I don't have any sense of whether the medications help him or not because this is the only way I have known him). Here is my problem:  He has a horrible potty mouth! He uses the "f" word at least twice in every sentence.  I've explained that it offends me. I've explained that it makes him seem hostile, inappropriate and/or uneducated.  It just rolls off his tongue endlessly.

Hi,there, I am a new member and I was wondering if anyone out there could give me some advice please. I will try to keep it short and sweet if possible. I met this guy who lives opposite me,I have know him for a few years just to say hello to in passing. A few weeks ago things developed between us and at first things appeared to be ok but then I noticed a few things didn't add up, I knew he was a recovering alcoholic but had completely transformed and turned his life around for the better.

I'm new to the forum and have been doing as much research as possible to understand my ADHD, but I need some help and I don't know where else to look so any help would be appreciated.  Here is my story:

I have worked too hard for too many years.  DH works enough to "get by and have fun".  I have supported and tried to help him and given to him and our children.  DH just wants to have fun and takes it easy and uses his time and energy to soothe and take care of himself.  I look around and see this is happening all around me.  There is one diva/fun loving/devil-may-care spouse and one who holds it all together with commitment and work.  It seems that the fun one is truly happier than the worker and the worker resents the freeloader.  Yet the freeloader gets rewarded again and again.

I think this might help both the ADDers and everyone who now and then feel overwhelmed or just lazy.  I will try this out today.  I can only imagine that, when given the choice of standing in a spot and doing NOTHING for a set period of time (no eating, distraction, games, tv, etc.) or doing a specific task, that I would choose to do a specific task.  This would be a discipline/habit/tool that would help anyone who feels unmotivated.

Like so many others, I’ve been a long time reader of this site and have greatly benefited from people sharing their stories. Finally, I’ve decided to get over the nerves of posting and ask for some advice about coping with my ex-ADHDer.
