Unfortunately, the same cycle has come around but I now have a different perspective entirely.  My wife, as I have become almost use to by now, has said she is leaving again.  This has happened so many times before, that those words means next to nothing to me?  This time however, I actually said "Okay, if that is what you decided to do, there is nothing I can do to stop you"  That was in effect, me agreeing with her decision and now I am brought into it "as if"....I want this too.  In fact, it's now come full circle back around where I'm the one who wants her to leave?  I guess, allowing h

I just want to say that I'm glad I found this website as I found the posts and articles here are quite helpful,

I really would like some advice to understand my situation better, as I am very confused at this point because I do not know what is the right thing to do.

I feel I am at a loss for words with my boyfriend and I need some insight into how ADHD may be affecting my relationship. 

Almost a year ago I began dating my boyfriend exclusively. We had been friends for a couple of years prior and I would question his promptness to events and even questioned if I felt I would be able to be in a relationship with someone who is always late. He was so sweet and genuine and I believed he adored me so dealing with his chronic lateness seemed worth it to me. 

Hello all. New hear, been lurking a good while. Short version: Married 24 years. DId not know he was an alcoholic or that he had ADHD back then. Years of dealing w his bad choices, everything from the alcoholism, temper tantrums, many, many jobs, along with the frosting on the cake, infidelity a few years ago. Multiple attempts on my part to engage him in treatment. He is under the care of psychiatrist for depression and ADHD. Well, he gets the pills anyway. Therapy not productive bc of lying to his therapist, as well as our marriage counselor.

Ok, I finally decided that it may be best for my health and well being to post to a blog in hopes to get some insight from other married couples. I recently married my husband after being together a short year and now we have a baby on the way. 

There is no doubt in my mind that I love him. He means well, he try's and I believe he loves me. 

Are you in a marriage relationship that you and your spouse's differences have made it impossible to achieve the healthy bond you should have? After 9 years I've found it almost impossible to experience a healthy bond. Mostly due to Independence vs Interdependence...Independent living by one or both spouses makes agreements difficult, and it severely limits unity and trust.
