I have posted on this topic before but wanted to repost to see if anyone else had anything to say on this.  My husband works in another state than me and our 21 yr old son.  My son has had a lot of difficulty with ADD and depression and still struggles today.  My husband seems to never call him to see how he is doing.  Months can go by and sometimes after that all he gets is a text.  My husband calls others once in awhile in his family who he isn't close to so why doesn't it dawn on him to call his son.  I cannot understand it!!  It still bothers me so much and makes me wonder who the heck

I am really struggling tonight...

Hello everyone,

We recently discovered that my husband has ADHD (i believe it to be advance however he can only admit to it being mild). I feel like I have to be there for him and in the nearly 7 years of marriage emotionally he's never there for me.

Hi, I have been having a gay relationship with a younger guy (he is 22) with ADHD for the last 2 years, we started off as the best of friends a year before any relationship developed, he knew I was gay but I thought he was straight. Anyway without going into too much detail here we became more than friends and it was the best relationship I have ever had!

My husband gets all excited when Friday comes,he can't wait for me to come spend the weekends with him and I love that but,one problem,when it's time to go home on Sundays he gets all upset and throws mood swings and wants to get into serious fights over nonsense.There is nothing we can do at this moment to change our living situation ,and because I am a mother of two kids ,I have to get back home to do my motherly duties,it's a must..ADHD or not what is so hard in understanding that I have my life as is and in a certain way the same way he met me..Living with him is a no no as I explained

I am fed up of my spouse's mood swings.How long again before he realizes how uncomfortable he makes me feel?Every afternoon after work he would pick me up to go to his apartment where I would be his maid.I would do his dirty dishes from the night before,sweep the floor,hey a little bit again and I would be turned into cindarella,and when I am there he is always passing me straight or talking to me cold and dry or in parables.Then he tries to put on a fake smile so he won't be noticed.ADHD was the sad story starting with his ADHD mother,according to what he told me,when he was much younger g

I really need advice...I can't go to any friends or family anymore.  They r tired of my problems with my adhd husband, so I have no support system.   I have 3 kids and don't want to put them through divorce.  But I don't want to be in this marriage anymore.  I also gave up my career to raise kids and have no job options.

When I first started dating my husband we were very much in love,Well who is not,love at first sight,yep that kind of thing actually happened to me.Well his loving kindness went straight to my heart and before getting to know him properly,we got married,not a legal marry,but a nika.Nika is a marriage consent between you and the person and a priest and two witnesses.I took him home to live with myself,my two kids and my mom.I live in a well peaceful,comfortable,loving home and since we were just starting of as newly weds I never thought of the damages it could cause my family.I never knew wh

I sometimes wonder if my husbands high sex drive is a related issue of ADHD,he won't stop at it and when i'm not around he turns to the porn movies.His high sex drive is becoming a little to overbearing sometimes, and I could use a little break, but he won't stop...I am sure that I am not the only person with this problem, but if I say it's too much,it really is too much.

I appreciate the book very much. It helped me a lot to know that other couples were struggling with the same type of issues. But it has also made me sad, and I have not finished reading it. The sadness is because it seems like my situation depends too much on what, if anything, my ADHD partner does to deal with the ADHD. I do not want my happiness to depend on someone else's actions which I cannot change.
