Hi Everyone! This is my first post on this site and in fact I don't post online much at all, certainly not about myself. I have only commented on one other user's post so far. I have tried to search to find helpful stories already posted, but decided to share my plight as we're all individuals, so here goes.

I met my wife 3 years 8 months ago, proposed 1 year 2 months ago and married her 4 months ago. And we've already both thrown the "D" word around more than once but I think I think it more than her - whenever I feel I'm not good enough and I'm holding her back.

Hi.  New here.  My husband has ADHD.  He was diagnosed as a teen, didn't like and quit the medicine a couple of months later, and refuses to contemplate treatment of any sort now.  We've been together nearly 17 years, married almost 4years.  The same time we married, our (my) youngest moved out and we were alone for the first time since moving in together after 10 years long distance.  All of the behaviors I'm struggling with were there the whole time, but I tried to deal with them, thinking it was the stress of having 3 teenagers or trying to adjust to living together or just learning each

Is there any correlation between adhd and the adhd man or woman shutting people out when they get mad at them? Whether or not they were in the wrong?

My wife pretty much alienated many people in her family. She had no issue telling them that they were dead to her.

Hi, reaching out for a sanity check. I'm the non-adhd spouse. Husband has appt for medication next month. Had ADHD entire life, untreated. I'm trying to hold out to see what happens with medication. But in the meantime...

Hi all,

Firstly, I'll start by saying that I've been browsing this forum for some time so thanks to each and every one of you who contributes. It's very powerful to read other people's stories and, rightly or wrongly, I take comfort in knowing I'm not alone.

So,a bit about me - 

My ldr gf has bad ADHD that includes severe depression (dx). Her parents, sister and I are worried about her current situation. She’s lived alone for the last 3 months, 4 hours away from them in Texas and I live here in Massachusetts. 

I've been with my husband for 18years, dealing with undiagnosed ADHD (diagnosed this year). I thought my relationship was "normal", challenging yes, but challenges all couples face. 

I am new here, and this my second post.

I have spent the last 2 months reading this forum, all the things people have posted could have been me and my 30 year relationship.

Since it has ended, I feel that I shouldn't be tying up anyone here because my relationship is over.

I have so many questions, so much I am trying to reconcile- maybe most of you have had that feeling...'Was anything real?'

Long history of poor relationship due to undiagnosed and treated ADHD and cheating from impulse control.
