I am seeking healthier ways to handle my ADHD partners frustration. His frustration tolerance is especially low after work, even with a "booster." His tone with me is often frustrated. It's something he struggles with in his family of origin with his sisters and past coworkers as well. He's worked on it and his work situation is actually quite healthy now but we are struggling at home. I'm going through my own health issues and having peri menopausal rage at times that I'm working on.

Drives me up the wall.... She just will not sit still.

It can be 11pm at night and she'll pop up and decided xyz needs to be done. Never chills out ever.

I work all day and evenings want to relax. Not see her rushing around in the kitchen, living room. Watching TV is out because shes back and fore and wont sit down.

What to do? I've tried to ignore but its stressing me out.

I just wanted to thank all of you who have posted about your life and your struggles on this forum. Your stories have helped me to make the decision to divorce my husband.

I am new here and I am hoping that maybe someone else can offer assistance or suggestions for coping with the impulsive road rage that happens with ADHD.

Whenever we go anywhere my husband will always end up frustrated with the other drivers (they are speeding up and slowing down-pick a speed!) or the amount of traffic (why are we going so slow??) or drive aggressively (tailgate, yell out expletives, etc.)

I usually sit in the passenger side gripping the armrest and praying lol. I put a crystal in the cup holder to rub for good energy when I am full of anxiety.

I don't even know where to start. I am just so frustrated with dealing with my ADHD husband. We've been married almost 30 . The biggest issue for us is his emotional dysregulation (anger) and  communication issues. I am constantly interrupted and stifled. I cannot express anything without being talked over, interrupted or argued with. We did the marriage sessions, which  is an 8 week course. He's always too busy with something.  It took us one year! And we don't practice any of the strategies Melissa taught. He has been promising to get treatment but has been unsuccessful.

This is my first post and thank you for reading!

I am currently married, my husband was first diagnosed with ADHD this year at age 58.  This is my second marriage, his first, we have been married for 10 years, no children together, I have an adult daughter from my first marriage of 22 years.

Do those with ADHD suffer from false memories?  Has anyone had this experience?  My husband can insist with such conviction that I have said something and I just know I haven't because it is always something I know I have never thought, voiced or believed in!! 

My un-medicated ADHD wife is addicted to her phone. Sometimes I feel like she has a better relationship with her phone than me. We have been together almost 10 years. Ever since the birth of our son a few years ago, I feel very left behind by her. I know I sound like a baby! I miss my wife. We have carved out time for date nights on Saturday nights. There is still a feeling of disconnect sometimes. I just feel better typing this out.

I told my ADHD husband tonight that I have been offered a new job and have accepted it.  I chose not to involve him at all whilst I went through the recruitment process, as I didn't want his negative opinions influencing me as I needed to be very focused in my approach with this role.  Well, I certainly made the wrong decision here.  He absolutely went ballistic and ranted for hours about all the things I have done to hurt him during our marriage.  In hindsight, I should have told him when I was interviewing but I never know what mood he'll be in on any particular day but as he came home in

For our 10 year relationship I have been accused of lying and cheating and I can't take it any more.
