husband blames me when major problems arise due to his lazy irresponsible thinking. I work hard at everything i do think plan ahead and he is comfortable  with things going down hill just gives me no rest because i am sweating my ass off doing his job mine and trying to stay focused. When he does not do his part I do my best to add the many task that he should be doing to my busy schedule's. I work from home and support us entirely if I cant make a bill my mother assists, we have 3 children and a nice house with a large backyard that not long ago was,beautiful now it's a shit yard.

Well.. I've been with this guy for 16 years, married for 15 (our anniversary was last week-- he forgot, just like he forgot my last birthday).

He is a very sweet, generous, open person but he drives me nuts.  I am tired of having to manage everything and it feels like he is an obstacle I have to climb over just to proceed with life.  He's kept a good job for many years, which is great but its hard to see how he functions at work considering how he is at home.

Just found this site and I'm feeling near tears that there's so many out there dealing with my same problems.  I am 35 and moved to Australia from Atlanta GA about a year ago.  I married my husband Tim this past January, due to a bit of ADD impulsiveness of my own I think.  Now it's September and I'm 8 months pregnant and hugely hormonal so my patience for "idiocy" has dwindled to zero, I have a 5 year old daughter from a previous relationship.   None of us have been tested but I have done a lot of internet research and really believe that all 3 of us have some form of ADD.  My mom bought m

I have just found this blog today and have been reading it off and on all day.  I can relate to most of what everyone says but I think my situation might be slightly different.  I am hoping someone out there can help me understand if our problems are a result of my husband's untreated ADHD or is it just me?  Am I that terrible of a wife?  My husband and I have only been married for just over a year and a half.  We have literally had problems since the day we got married.  For the year and a half we dated, everything (most everything) was wonderful.    I have been married once before and my

Hubby took his Adderall every day this week for the first time. I have a hard time with it, because there are parts of his personality that I love when he's not taking Adderall..his sarcasm, joking, silly self, and he seems to lose that a bit when he's on Adderall. I also feel like he's taking too much.

My husband has been diagnosed with ADHD since he was very young (five or six years old). He still struggles with it but has made a lot of improvements. Additionally, he isn't on medication now but will soon be again. With or without medication though, his sleep problems are a constant source of frustration. I was wondering if anyone else had problems with an ADHD spouse and sleep habits. I know it sounds totally crazy, but my husband is constantly tired. He can sleep 9 or 10 hours and still complain of exhaustion. He can sleep through his alarm--for over an hour.

How Can You Work Something out with someone if you try but they avoid you?

I have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, but ever since I was little people have always suspected it. I was the kid that couldn't sit still always talking in class, would not try unless it was something extremely challenging(and did extremely well especially in math science and history), played sports and had a natural gift but never really fully applied myself because I was always frustrated with coaches making decisions I didn't agree with, officials for things I didn't agree with and myself because I know I was better than what I was doing.

Hello all.  I have lurked here for weeks reading the various posts and this will be the first post from me personally.  I would like to say that the many stories I have read here have done much to help me gain a modicum of perspective and sanity which has been sorely needed on my part as of late.  As much as I would like my first post here to be one of happiness and hope, I'm afraid that this forum will instead serve as the medium for a public announcement of a sudden, almost spontaneous realization on my part several weeks ago that - in regards to remaining with my ADHD spouse -  I am simp
