What to expect from DH this weekend,well it's simple to say LOOK OUT!!! big fights coming!!!!,should I stay into the comforts of my own home and be missing him? or should I go and just learn how to handle it maturely? well a few weeks ago I would have gone at DH apartment without even thinking this through,but now I know different, I am thinking it through and still very Happy to share the long weekend with him!Opps!!!!! LOOK OUT! the mood swings!!  the tantrums,fights,accusations,hell the "blame game" what to do?

As I read all the stories on here I see my husband in so many of them. The last year with him has been horrible. This all makes me so sad not only for us, but for him...I am so overwhelmed...where is my Munkey I married? I miss him.........

okay I have been doing a lot of researches and then I came up with my own strategy in dealing with the man I love soo very much "BUT" to not let his ADHD affect "me" mentally,physically,emotionally and so on, also,I really would like to use the terms "US" but really if you dig deeper in to the minds of an ADHD person "US" is never really there,just "you",firstly let me say this post is to help "both" ADHD and non- ADHD on this forum.

strategy:

1)continue to live one day "as they say",at a time (sweet Jesus),and never let your guard down.

Just got the book today and saw the percentage in it.... 24-35%. Oh my, was my first thought, as though I worked in special ed for nearly ten years, I had thought it was actually more rare than this as a coexisting condition. I also thought it very related to criminal behavior.

I have suspected ODD with my stepson, but been afraid to actually bring it up with my husband.

Moreover, my husband does all the same stuff the boy does.

DH is not treating ADD at all and hasn't for over a year. DH is also bipolar (1 yr since begin treatment) - he is treating with meds only.  Okay, so that's the back history.  For about the last 3 + months my DH has had no interest in sex- none. He's too tired - no energy whatsoever.

How do I know my spouse has ADD or if he is just not that into me?

My husband was very sick about 6 years ago,he has ADHD and was not sure what he had at the time,BUT,when the economy was falling and he was about to lose his house,boat,cars "everything"he fell very ill with mental and physical exhaustion,and he was not eating,sleeping,he could not work and do anything,he got symptoms of bad bad depressions,heart palpitation's,and he thought he was going to die.I was not with him at the time that was when he was even going through his first divorce,and the kids mother also took him out financially "big time" which caused a huge financial problem,resulting i

I find myself still so frustrated with the breakup of my almost 3 year relationship with my ex-boyfriend.  My logical non-ADD mind tells me I cannot control another, let alone a man with ADD, but damn if the heart just won't follow.  Our first year was great and his creative, adventurous, and child-like sides were all so charming.  He was oh so opposite to me in many ways as I am a type-a, uber organized structured person.  I just also happen to have a wild side that he fit right in with.   At first I enjoyed doing so much for him, and he was always appreciative, but as time grew on and pro
