The past few days/weeks have been the darkest days of my life. Sadly, my spouse (I have ADHD, spouse does not) has decided he wants to divorce and we filed in March. We are in our late 20's and do not have children.

In one of the lists of primary human needs, the need to give and receive attention is listed as NUMBER 1!   "Attention is a form of nutrition and without the right quality and quantity we will suffer mental and even physical distress and illness. It's vital to understand the importance of how much and of what quality attention we give and receive in life to feel happier and have the space in our minds to focus on long term dreams and goals."  Hypnosis Downloads

I need a little help interpreting this situation.  I am an adhd husband who is presently separated from my wife but living under the same roof (roommates). She initiated the separation.  She says that nothing has changed with us. I now interpret that to mean that she is lonely and I still have not connected with her.  She says I still speak harshly with her and do not know how to interact with her.  She has stated recently that there is no us and can not be until I get help.  Do not work on us, work on me.

I'm a 41 years old married for 11 years to an ADHD man. He is not diagnosed and I think he would never accept to take a test, as the idea of him having something wrong, is not possible for him.

I started reading about ADHD, because of my boy, he has it, has been diagnosed and is taking Ritalin. It seems to help him at the school and at the moment he is doing fine. I'm the one who decided to have him checked and found a pediatrician specialized in ADHD. I'm the one who goes to the consults, deal with the school, homework, housework, etc.

I wanted to provide some words of hope for those of you who may be where I was.  To be honest, I was at what I believed to be the point of no return.  As the non-ADHD spouse I felt lonely, sad, overwhelmed, angry, and just plain exhausted.  I would wake up in the morning and hate the person I saw in the mirror, I knew I had become someone I was not proud of.  I could see the strain in my dear ADHD spouse as well.  We were barely speaking and when we did there was no substance - it was mainly what's the weather today, can you grab the mail.  I was frustrated because after almost 8 years of t
