ADHD Effect on Marriage - New Book - available as an eBook from Barnes & Noble?  Are there plans to release this as an eBook from Barnes & Noble for the Nook?

Thank you

Thursday it all became impossible and I had to ask husband to leave house. It is such a relief. No more crunching around on egg shells. Now I wonder what he is thinking and how he is coping. It is mostly very very sad.

I can't make myself have a stable, consistent routine of any type, which is not fair to my 2.5 year old son. Toddlers depend on consistency, and I feel like the only thing consistent in my son's life is the fact that I still nurse him 2-3 times a day.

My husband and I have been married for 6 and 1/2 years. It has been rocky at times, and I also have anxiety issues which I have been successfully treating with cognitive behavioral therapy. My husband was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and admits to having it, but I don't think he is really wrapping his head around how his ADHD affects me.

Hello everyone. I guess this site has been bitter sweet for me. As an ADHD guy who is just about to start as second marriage, I can't help but be discouraged by what I'm reading. It seems to me, that almost all of the conflict in relationships is attributed to the partner with ADHD. Can this be the case? I struggle with emotional impulsivity - outbursts that are both irrational and uncalled for. Is this the ONLY reason my marriage failed? It was certainly an ugly aspect of it, but up until now, I thought it was one ingredient in a large list of reasons we didn't make it.

I have been married to my wife for 5 years now. During this time I have put her through absolute hell. The anger and the things I used to say and do to her never anything physical but all mental. I was away for the very beginning of our marriage being held on restriction by the Marine Corps.

I am coming to terms with the fact that my husband in all likelihood has ADHD. While we do not have an official diagnosis, 80% of the indicators are there.

What trial and errors did you go through in treating your or your spouses adhd/add. Did it end well or did you just give up and moved on?
