My husband had diagnosed ADD but untreated due to having no insurance. He spends money like crazy, he leaves cabinet doors open and stuff all over the house. He can't clean anything without being reminded 24 times and without me providing a list. He lost my antique engagement ring (my grandmothers) 2 years ago and still insists some lady has it and just wont ship it. My household tools disappear (dremel, saws etc) with no explanation. We dont have sex because it just never crosses his mind. The symptoms and stressors are endless and im at my wits end.

I am the ADHD spouse! I have made a lot of mistakes but I really am not a spiteful, mean, liar, lazy, and all the other names I've been called by my non-ADHD. He is the one who found this site and told me about it because of something's that has happened in our marriage. A lot has happened in our marriage, according to him it's all my fault. Nobody is can never disagree with him. If someone does like his mother it's because "she is always on the other person's side." I have to accept and agree to everything he says otherwise the name calling and arguing begins!

I feel I am out of options and in desperate need of advice.

My ADHD husband informed me today that he hates his meds, stopped them and will not go back on ANY, as he only did it for me anyway.  The meds were not doing anything anyway, but he will not even try anything else.  The fact that he was taking them for only me is sitting bad with me, when will he ever do anything to improve HIS life.

Hello everyone..

let me just say thank you to all of you...it really helps to know that somewhere out there someone understand me...

Does any one have experience with ADHD and Bipolar, my husband has both and im just about to run far away and change me and my childrens names so we can not be found. This life in utter torture...any words would be helpful..thank you!!

Hello,
This is my first time that I am taking the courage to post, I am married to a ADD/ADHD person that is taken medication and pretty much affirms that he has total control of his symptoms. He just asks his family doctor to prescribe him the medication and he does self-diagnostic himself for his improvement.
We have two young kids (5 yrs and 3 yrs) and he assures me that the oldest one has ADD also.

My girl (not my biological girl, but she lives with me and I love her as a daughter) is 13 now. I met her when she was half her age. I immediately noticed she was different from the average kid of her age. Everybody is different but this is not what I mean.

She jumped around, talked non stop and very unclearly. She couldn't stay still for a second, not even when she was really ill. She completed tasks in a huge hurry or left them undone. I remember baking with her. She was so sweet and adorable and excited, but what a mess :D!

My heart goes out to all the posters on here, your stories have helped bring clarity to my own situation with my fiance. I finally decided a few weeks ago after another dysfunctional interaction with my fiance which ended in him trying to blame me and my actions for his lousy behavior, which in turn prompted him to tell me he needed to take a break from us. Following morning another discussion ensues over text which began by him (as he won't pick up his phone to talk like adults).

Hello all!  I'm not new to AD/HD, but new to this forum.  I have lived with people my whole life with ADD.  I have spent a lot of time on this site and hear my story.  I'll give some background info first.  

Hi all! Thank God I found this forum. I'm so tired and feel like my marriage is on the rocks although divorce is out of the question as this is both our second marriage and we are raising a big family.

Oh my life my life....
