I currently am going insane and I can't control it.  I have the weight of the world on my shoulders and no help from boyfriend instead he is sitting on the world.

here is some back story

Last night, I heard an interview on BBC Radio 2 with the UK's most well-known poet - Pam Ayres. She was promoting her new book of poems called "You've made me late again" and read the poem of the same name which I thought would be well received by all those long-suffering partners. I've put the link below and it is right at the end of the 13 minute interview, but only available for the next 6 days, so be quick!

Hello all,

I just happened upon this forum since I was searching the internet to find out why I leave the kitchen cabinet doors open whenever I cook.  I also jump out of my shoes when I come into the kitchen.  I do not have ADHD at all.  I know what ADHD is because my son has it.  I am not forgetful.  I am not a daydreamer.  I do not lose things.  I do not have any of the classic symptoms of ADHD and no one would ever suspect that it is something I have.

I have been dating this guy with ADHD for about a year and half now... 

it's been like a roller coaster... and at some point, he made me believe I am the one who needs therapy, I am the one who is needy, I am the one who blames everything on him.

We have been apart for the past several months, and we agreed there was no chance for this relationship if long distance. 

So, I landed a job and was about to move there, across the continent. 

 Well the day of reckoning has finally come.

I physically pay most of the family's bills but I ask my husband for (and usually receive) payment from him for his share of joint bills (mostly our daughters' expenses).  Right now, we're living separately, at my request.  

As usual, I had told my husband several weeks in advance how much he would owe me for joint bills for September.  I reminded him a few times.  He assured me he would pay in a timely fashion.

I am hoping to get some feedback from people who have experienced anything like the following:

content removed at the request of poster.

Not once in 20 years has my ADD dh asked, "How are you feeling? or What are you feeling?" I would really appreciate some feedback on how I can or should not approach the spouse with ADD regarding feedback.

My communication difficulties with my husband has been the same for the last twenty years. I will recommend things that are important for the two of us or our two boys but it will fall into the ether -- but if someone else says the same thing, it's pure gold and the TRUTH and has to be acted on right away.
