Ran to counseling and are going to try to work it out. 

Thanks for the replies.

I posted here a couple of months ago about my BF of two years who was verbally abusive to me (we broke up recently). I'm 37, he is 35. He has a good job, we had an amazing sex life, he was a fun and creative person, he had an amazing family, but there were issues... One of them was responsibility. He took two years to clean up his house which was littered with boxes of junk from the many times he had moved after his divorce.

Hello all and thanks in advance for reading.

I have been with my fiancee for about 5 years now and I'm wondering if it's time for me to leave.  I'm sort of a traditional lady  when it comes to relationships, so I don't necessarily feel like leaving is the right thing to do.  There's also some early childhood stuff in there related to my dad leaving which plays into it as well.

After 13 years of fighting, I just don't know how much fight I have left in me.

This morning I was getting DS off to school while DH was out shoveling the driveway.  He comes in and DS was on the couch being his usual ornery self like he is every morning.  DH says "oh, you're not going to school today?"  WTF?!?!?!!?!?  So that puts the idea in DS's head.  Gee, thanks. 

This is my first post, so please excuse any ramblings. I’m not on any meds yet! Do people use these forums as a place to just get all their thoughts together? I think that’s what I’m doing now. I am 42 years old, married 15 years with a 15 year old son. My intention is not for this to be a “rant” – just an introduction to my situation because I plan on coming back here frequently.

After weeks of reading the posts on here I have finally joined today...

My husband and I had an amazing world wind romance for the first oh... 6 months of our 6 year relationship... He was so exciting and oh so much fun... I was organized, independent and had my sh*t together... we become inseparable quickly...

I just came across this site and have been reading the posts in tears. After 35 years of marriage, after the pain after the frustration after the gut bending fury, It finally has a name. What kind of a professional evaluates him for ADD? 

My husband called at 5 pm yesterday that he was just leaving the office. With the highway traffic, I figured he should be home by 7 pm. He did not return my calls or texting ever since and it is already noon next day. I have no clue what he is doing. Last week, he did not come home till 3 am. He said he had a tough day at work, and got so overwhelmed when he called home and listened to my frustrated voice about his late return while the youngest son screaming near the phone. (We have 3 sons. Age 8, 6, 2). 

I just saw the show.  What I liked about it:

(1) Really informative regarding how its diagnosed, treatments, ramifications, gave hope.   (2) Funny.   (3) Relaxed and clear presentation of information.

What I did not like:

(1) The part where they said "Have the right partner".
