I had been gone for three days at a workshop.  I phoned him I would be home at 6:30 pm. It is after 11pm now. I have been home for over three hours. He wasn't home when I got here but when he came home he went to the garage.  He is sitting in the garage "putzing" with I don't know what, without eating dinner. Not coming in the house.  I am always the one to initiate every conversation. I am the one to try to communicate. He just doesn't participate. I feel like a fool.  I feel hated.  I feel alone and lonely. I am frustrated.  I am going to bed.

My ADHD husband and I have had a particularly bad two years, but now we are at the point where he is in therapy and on ADD meds. He is becoming easier to live with and his depression and anger are somewhat regulated. These were my top requirements for staying together, and the progress came after I told him I was done. The last requirement was getting a job. He hasn't contributed income in the 8 years we've been married, and has "freelanced". He also never in the past was much help with the household stuff or the kids. He just spins his wheels and is very busy, but for no real purpose.

I have been married a long time. My husband has ADHD, I do not. He wants to be in control of everything from money to household. A project will be started and then dropped and then a new one will begin. I do not know how much more I can take. He wants to do everything himself with no help but nothing gets done! We have three cars that do not run because he is going to fix them. Of course it's been over a year with them just sitting there. We have an old house that needs fixing up and all the rooms have been started but thats it.

hi Everyone. I really love my partner.  I am really sad though. He has been on ADHD meds for a year but I am feeling like I still am getting the short end of the stick with the relationship.

I am not sure??? but I think that it is best that hubby and myself take a separation,things have been really tough with him ,and there is no improvement that is stable,it is a roller coater ride every 2 weeks,something new always keep popping up or the same old things.He has not filter for his mouth,he just blurts out whatever comes to mind and that is hurting me to the core.

I'm married to an undiagnosed ADHD. I lost all desire for him long ago. Probably after the 5th new car, quad or boat purchase. Has anyone else lost all desire for their ADHD spouse? He seems to not have the capacity to understand. 

I am engaged to a man with ADHD.  I finally got him to see a psychiatrist for medication management about six months ago.  The doctor prescribed him Adderall and has slowly worked him up to the dose she feels is appropriate.  The problem is his insurance won't cover the extended release form in the dose he takes.  Without it, he is one person when he wakes up, another for a few hours after taking his morning meds, another when they wane in the afternoon, another when the second dose kicks in and yet another late in the evening.  He is not good about talking to the doctor about what's going

My husband gets really mad at me whenever I say anything about ADHD, unless it doesn't involve him. He can recognize that our son being treated for ADHD is a good thing, and that his behavior when he's not on his medicine is frustrating and annoying. He even goes as far as to get upset with our son for being annoying, and it is so maddening because when these situations occur and he is annoyed with our son he tells him to get off him and don't be a pest, you're annoying etc,.....which makes me so mad because the truth is HE ACTS EXACTLY THE SAME WAY!!!!
