I'm new on here and have been reading many, many of the posts and getting a lot from most of them.

I think that Melissa’s class would help my husband and me in our relationship and marriage, but I somehow don’t see him agreeing to spend the $289 or doing the work that would be required to make it successful. I’m pretty sure he does have a severe “case” of ADHD even without an “official” diagnosis.

When the children were young and now with our grandchildren, I now see that ADD may be playing a part in an activity that was irritating to me but I didn't know what it was.  Now I am seeing that he acts like a child when he is with children.  He is the roughest, loudest, most baby-talkish of the group.  He squeels and giggles and things ALWAYS get out of hand with someone ending up crying.  Then H stomps off saying it wasn't his fault and that I am crazy for being concerned.  I must decide each time how much I can tolerate.

I have ADHD!!!

The impact on my marriage has been devastating, in fact it may have killed it completely. The Jury is still out right this moment but this being the fourth time my wife has asked me for a divorce the odds are not in my favor and honestly they are pretty slim.

I know without doubt that I truly love my wife with all my heart and everything I am.

Hello Everyone,

I ran across this article and thought it did a really good job of answering one of those questions that keeps being asked here on this forum........why?

Hi, I'm new here and would like some input if available. Reading over the material here it seems that my wife has a high likelihood of having ADHD. She fits the descriptions perfectly and has a daughter who was diagnosed as ADHD. Her behaviors also match very good when I do the similar comparisons with borderline personality disorder. This is all well and fine, but I am not a doctor so it really matters little what I diagnose. The main driver of her BPD-like symptoms, in addition of her fears of abandonment, is that she cannot appear as vulnerable in any way.

Hello everyone. I can't believe that I have to write this, but I am a thirty-one-year-old female who is disabled, unable to drive or work, and I am basically homebound most of the time. I have no friends to speak of in real life. For the past four years now, I've found myself living nearly three hundred miles away from home with a man who is quite literally the most abusive person I have ever known. 

Hello,

I'm new here! Thank you for stopping by :)

I am reading COUPLES THRIVING with ADHD and in Chapter 2 there is a symptom tracker listed. 

 

Does anyone have the link? 

I am the non-ADHD spouse.  My husband was diagnosed about 2 years ago.  We have been together for 13 years.  We are the classic couple where opposites attract - I'm more organized, a planner by nature, etc.  This meant it was easy to fall into the parent/child rolls and looking back I think it was that way from the time we were dating.  It seems to have gotten worse over time and I am at the point where I feel like I am being taken advantage of.  I feel like I'm the only adult, the only one who has any real responsibility.
