Last night, my wife suggested ordering out and asked me if I could pick it up.  OK.

I looked at the menu and told her what I wanted.  The kids were still deciding, so I said I would go to the store for some things we needed and then I could pick it up.

Me (22) and my husband (25) have been married since two years, I started living with him last year and then I had to come back to my own country to finish off my education. I went this year again during my summer vacations and now I am back here while my husband is living away from me. We discovered about him suffering from ADHD this january or so but I did not know then that it would have huge impact on our married life.

I am the non adhd spouse and I'm pretty new to figuring this stuff out. My husbands takes vyvanse to help him focus and it does help him. However, it doesn't seem to help with any of the other adhd symptoms like irritability.  When I try to discus this with him he says he only feels irritability when I'm there so it's something in our relationship and not part of his adhd.  I think this might be possible but I'm wondering if anyone else has any input about this?

Hi Everyone

Hello everybody, I'm new here. I'm 37 years old, married for almost 7 years with a newly diagnosed (only a couple of months) adhd husband, mother of a beautiful 6 year old girl and currently pregnant of a second child.

Hi all.  My name is Tim.  I currently live in London, UK and am approaching my 60th birthday.  I found this forum after finishing "The" book. 

I’m writing to describe what I went through with my ADHD wife through my serious illness. When it was finally diagnosed that I had to have heart valve replacement surgery my wife’s oblivious cruel streak came out. All this happened before we knew, at age 58, that she is very likely ADHD. Anyway, the very evening after getting home from the hospital, having undergone diagnostic angiography, she tells me that she doesn't want to deal with my ‘anxiety’ around the whole thing and that she was looking at apartments and possibly moving out.

Hello everyone I'm Ron 

It's been 7 months since I've asked my husband to move out of our apartment to try a therapeutic separation. Aggressiveness was really high (shouting at me and at our 4 year-old kid,...) and I thought that was the last resort to try and save our marriage...
