I understand this forum is primarily for marriage related ADHD concerns, but I couldn't find any other place to discuss this topic. 

I began dating my now spouse in November 2010 and by November 2011 we were married. At that time she was everything I could ask for with potential for more!! Boy was I wrong!!!!!!! We just found out that she has ADD and now it has become a crutch. We started marriage counseling in April 2012 because being raised by a military family, I was not allowed to make excuses or give up easily and I had to FIND a way to make things happen...strong adapting skills if you will and I was determined to make this work.

DH is "on the road" sales.  He puts on more than 20,000 mi a year.  He is using the old family car that my budget paid for and has no savings in his business to purchase the next car.  Here is the queer part. ALL of his gas receipts show that he pays with $10 or $20 cash and takes $10 to $15 in change, buying gas $5 to $10 at a time all over the state!

I am a non ADHD wife married to a DH with antisocial with self defeating

area for a topic that I know has been affected because of impulses.

In one of the lists of primary human needs, the need to give and receive attention is listed as NUMBER 1!   "Attention is a form of nutrition and without the right quality and quantity we will suffer mental and even physical distress and illness. It's vital to understand the importance of how much and of what quality attention we give and receive in life to feel happier and have the space in our minds to focus on long term dreams and goals."  Hypnosis Downloads

I need a little help interpreting this situation.  I am an adhd husband who is presently separated from my wife but living under the same roof (roommates). She initiated the separation.  She says that nothing has changed with us. I now interpret that to mean that she is lonely and I still have not connected with her.  She says I still speak harshly with her and do not know how to interact with her.  She has stated recently that there is no us and can not be until I get help.  Do not work on us, work on me.

I am the spouse of a newly diagnosed ADHD.  I need to hear from men with ADHD.  My husband of 3 years is a sex addict.  I would say he is a mild one.  He has his whole life dealt with stress by fantasizing, etc about other women.
