I have been telling my wife for weeks that she has not been keeping track of appointments on our shared calendar or her own calendar.  For example, just before the stay at home period started, she had made an appointment with our couples counselor and forgot to tell me about it.  I stopped off at the drug store on the way home to find her not there.  Our daughter thought she was at a store.  When she got back, I THEN found out that there had been a couples appointment that i would have needed to drive to immediately after work in order to make it.  Worse still, she forgot about the appointm

I feel very stuck. There has been so much long lasting hurt and anger, caused by actions that continue. I have no idea how to summon up the inclination to change myself as part of the process to save our marriage. I really need to see changes in my ADHD partner first to move forward. I realize this isn't how I should be approaching things, it's just so difficult. How can I shift my mindset and move past the hurt and anger?

I had at first spewed out some unhappy thoughts here which is not what we need today. Then I replaced it with this:

I will be meditating and prayerful today toward acceptance and strength and wholeness during our time of separateness this Easter Sunday.

Do you have a personal method of calming and enjoying being by yourself, feeling sure-footed or just not alone?

Do you remember a small activity that gave you the quiet feeling of celebrating "just being"?

Hi all

Hi All...I've entered a new phase of life when it comes to the relationship (the suppose to be marriage) that I've been in the past 12 years....I've read many of your post over the past (6) years as you have mine....In mine, and most of you guy's, there has been very very few happy endings....As I set here w/ my coffee this morning (reading a few post) the reason for the lack of happy endings is pretty clear to me....It's selfish based priorities;...Just like one of the last posters was stating about her husband....Overboard and thoughtless when it comes to sex in the marriage....So many of

Any of you who have been married to a high level add/adhd person in denial for any length of time now, know's that this physical and social distancing is no big deal for the most part....We live that way everyday in our own homes.....I'm sorry for those who are hurting and suffering...Hopefully the world will come out of this stronger, with a better sense of what is truly important....

Bless you all....

Hi everyone, im new to this forum and can very much identify with many of the issues discussed on here

I have been with my ADHD partner for 4 years now. Married now for 2 years.

My wife and I are in our mid forties and I have 2 stepdaughter's. My wife has add and my eldest stepdaughter who is 14 years has adhd. My youngest stepdaughter is 12 years old and has the rebellious I know everything attitude of 21. I am what the constant arguments between the girls. Majority of the time I am the one doing the cooking and cleaning up of the house while everyone is on their devices. I am frequently arguing with my wife to have the girls pitch in around the house because the are at that age and can learn to help contribute.

I haven't written in what feels like years - but thought I'd reach out for some feedback.

Hi All ....it's been a while! Thought I'd check in and say hello.

I wanted to start off relaying something that I noticed with my dog. For the longest time while I was still in my last relationship, his fur was sparse, he was edgy and basically a nervous little dog. He had always been a bit nervous but this I attributed it to him being a small breed, he's a Papillon for those who are interested.
