I have been posting a lot the last couple of days, it seems, and I must say, I feel like my ADDwife and I (non-ADD) have been making some progress.  Granted, it's in fits and starts, but it's progress nonetheless.  And progress is GOOD!!

 

Hello everyone! I'm not married to an ADHD person (Chris), but we've
been together for over 7 years. We love each other so much that we
intend to marry when I complete my studies. We have come across many
different problems in our relationship and one of them is sex...Ok, this
is going to be impossible to explain if I don't dive into details, so it
can be a little explicit.

i'll get into a funk. i'll be all sorts of negative. and not focused on anything positive. there are times i'm in that funk for a week or more.

SO sits there so patiently.  sometimes it's too much and he reacts in a not so positive manner, but for the most part he is very patient and just tries to refocus me on the positive.

Hello everyone. I am a mom of 2 boys with ADHD. I also struggle with attention issues of my own. I have really had a hard time with consistency and organization - which I know makes things even more difficult for my sons. They need me to be consistent. I just started using an online family management tool called ADHD Nanny. You can do a search for ADHD Nanny and find it online. Has anyone used this program yet? We just started about a month ago and it has really helped me with the day to day schedule and my kids love it.

new. hi!

I've been skimming over the threads.  noticed that most assist the non-ADDer spouse with their anger issues and "dealing" with us ADDers.

Do you have any suggestions on how us ADDers can deal with the anger and resentment that we have after years of not receiving the support we truly needed from our significant others?

ok im going to try this. after reading some of your letters, I would like to say something from the other side of the coin. im not even sure im in the right place, ive never been diagnosed with adhd, but alot of what im reading sounds just like me.

I've posted about the problems my husband's ADD has caused me. Regular readers are probably sick of me....

I found this site through a New York Times article on marriages and ADHD.  I browsed through the forums and saw many of the experiences and anxieties I have experienced over the years.  I thought that I'd share a little of my story.

My husband has ADHD, and it is affecting our marriage greatly.  I am also almost 9 months pregnant and I must say that this pregnancy has been an emotional roller coaster.  I feel so lost right now and I need all the help and advice I can get. 

Hi fellow non-ADHDers, I'm in a long term relationship with someone who is ADHD. We live together and considering marriage, but our relationship has similar problems to the ones I've been reading about on here: his irresponsibility with money and bills, being so consumed with his band that he forgets to do chores (or he's too busy to do his chores every day which results in bugs). I'm a teacher studying to be a counselor so I know about the strengths and weaknesses of an ADHD person, but my patience is starting to fade and I'm tired, depressed, and downright hateful sometimes to him.
