My husband of 23 years  has ADHD I have four children, the arguments are constant and have been for 20 years. I can't cope anymore, it's so many things. What seems like lies, what feels like he doesn't care about me or kids things because he doesn't follow through makes wild promises, and let's me down so much. I can't stand anymore arguments the pain inside is intense. Please someone can you show me where to start ? 
 

Thank you so much 

My wife and I have been married for 15 years and they have been extremely rocky.  I was diagnosed with ADHD about 8 years ago and take medication daily.  My wife is at the raging point of our marriage.  We have been living in separate parts of the house for just over a year now.  I'm the GM of a restaurant and work on average 60 hours a week.  It is not very conducive to a marriage and or personal life.  The reason I am posting this is because I need help.  She has been the one over the years moving her schedule around my ever changing work schedule; putting all the effort in to keep the ma

Hi guys!

I'm new here. I needed to find a space where I can talk about how I feel. I hope this is it.

I believe my husband has ADHD. I say believe because he has never been diagnosed, but we've been married 15 years (it's been a very difficult marriage) and a couple of years ago I stumbled on some info about ADHD in adults  and started to read up on it (via internet articles) and I am 100% convinced that this is what my husband suffers from.

Hi everyone. I’m happy to have found this forum because I’m losing my ENTIRE mind. I'm going to try and make this as concise as I can.

Some background: we are in our early 30s, together 10 years, married almost 7. We have a 1 year old and my husband works full time and I am a stay at home mom.

Do any of you feel that love is not in the air? One of the things I've found most weird is that my BF tells me constantly, in fact far too much, that he loves me. When I say far too much I mean at inapparopriiate times, like when something important is going on I have to deal with, like issues with fmaily, spending time with a friend etc, will bombard me with grand declations of love and gifs and all sorts that I can''t respond to because I'm doing something else. Ok the odd one, fine, but it's like someone yelling at me when I'm trying to do something important.

One thing that I have realized trying to have a (serious) conversation with my add wife is, it's basically impossible...Never in my life have I been involved in so many wasted words, and conversation attempts...Based on six years of reading posts here, so many of you understand this...A person who does not want to hear you, want!  When a person's life isn't a responsible one, they know it....Typical behavior for adult irresponsibility is denial, blame, anger, defensiveness, bullying or running away...But many of us who feel like we are drowning in the chaos and dysfunction can't help but tr

I'm really confused and just at my wits end. I am with my partner who has three children. We've been together for over a year. He was always very chatty and failed to listen to me. He'd go off on a tangent on all sorts of things.

I said one day, do you think you have ADHD. And he said he does. I feel because he knows I have health issues, he should have said this much earlier. I feel a bit hoodwinked.

Greetings,

I have a double whammy in my marriage! - I am recently diagnosed at 53 (and medicated) and my husband (62) has been diagnosed but refuses to accept he has any responsibility to change.

I read a lot on here about one spouse having ADHD and the effects this has, but I can't seem to find any support for us to navigate our relationship.

Any pointers?
