Those of you who have read my posts before will remember, my posts were full of things other spouses of ADDers face-no job, no help around the house, etc. I finally got a legitimate "work from home" job and found myself, within a few weeks, working 60 or more hours a week. I spent hours working away on my computer listening to him watch whatever TV shows caught his fancy-mostly off-network reruns like Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, etc. And he did nothing to clean the house or make my life function better (except he did cook). This went on over a year. He never even looked for work.

My husband has a hard time asking for help.  I don't know if he is afraid to ask for help, very proud of his unwillingness to do so, or both.  

Hello ladies.

I hope I can get this out before my medication wears off lol.

Where do I start? *pause* Wow.

Non-ADHD spouses: When your partner finally "fixed" his/her behavior, what was your experience in letting go of all of the previous stress and frustration?

I'm an ADHD wife; my husband is non-ADHD. (We do not have children.)

Hello everyone. I'm new here. I've been coming to the site for a bout six months but it wasn't until I read Melissa's book 3 weeks ago that I started to understand that my DH has a real condition and it is causing a lot of the problems we've been having since we got together 10 years ago. we were on the verge of breaking up until I read the book. I have been working on letting go of my anger and resentment for the past 3 weeks. might take me a while.

but here's my good news:

HI, I'm new to the forum.

It feels great to learn that there is a place to come for support and understanding when dealing with ADHD and how it can affect your daily life.

Hey all-I'm new to posting here, thought I've been reading for a long time.  I'm so thankful for this site, as my husband and I are new to dealing with his ADD (recently diagnosed).  Our marriage blew-up, but we are on the road to recovery, thank goodness!  

My question is really for anyone here who has ADD/ADHD.  What kind of date nights are fun for you?  We are really having a hard time finding ways to "go out" that work for both of us.  Any great ideas out there?

First I have to say that I just found this forum and I've been crying since reading your trials and generous offers of support.  I hate to say it, but it's nice to know I'm not the only one going through this!  

I am new here.  My name is Jason.  I am married to a wonderful Woman who has had ADHD for a long time.  She just recently in the past 5 years was diagnosed and is on medicines.  Her two sons also have Add w/ODD and Anxiety and ADHD w anxiety, attention and high impulsivity.

Like any disease that is untreated it can get out of control. The messy house, unpaid bills - it is all chaos 24/7. It never seems to end. I have been reading this forum for about a year, trying to figure out how to fix myself, my husband and our children. After doing research, changing our diets, taking vitamins and listening to beta music I now have hope and felt that I needed to make my first post.
