Non ADHD spouse has quit before starting

In the summer of 2019 my now 14 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADHD.  After we had her start seeing a therapist and getting her symptoms under control, my wife of 19 years also started to see a separate therapist.  This therapist, without having met me, and through the descriptions my wife gave was convinced that I was a narcissistic emotional abuser. 

Not sure how long I can keep going

My husband and I have been together since 2010 and married since 2013. We have not gotten diagnosed but I think we both have ADHD. I have been he sole provider since about a year into us dating. He lived with his parents for several years as he did not have a job and I did nt make enough money at the time to support us both as I lived with my mom as well. We have been living together for 6ish years now and I have been the sole provider the whole time.

Coffee

Every couple has their thing, for my husband and I it's coffee. He didn't drink it much when we first met but I did and yeah. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. We don't roast our own beans or anything (now grinding the beans, umm yeah!) but we like to enjoy a cup in the morning to start the day. He prefers the coffee from the same gas station and really only drinks it at home if it's the 'right' kind like the last sentence. That's a whole thing lol. Its good coffee but I don't mind making it at home.

Forgiven

What does that word mean to me? In theory it works like this, I did something really bad that adversely affected someone else. We come to a point where they tell me they are no longer going to focus on that thing I did. Doesn't mean they forget or that it doesn't still hurt, just means they won't focus on it.

My life: my husband and I have been married/together for close to ten years. We have a four year old. He works and so do I. I am going taking classes to make a better life for my family. I don't want my husband to work anymore. I don't want him tired day in and day out. 

ADHD & Accountability

I am the Non ADHD spouse and am currently so confused on this rollercoaster with my ADHD husband. We are both Christ followers and truly that is what is saving me from leaving this marriage at the moment. I am hoping someone will have some words for me that will give me comfort that what I am experiencing is normal for ADHD brains. My husband and I have been married for almost 3 years with him recently diagnosed and taking meds. We just found out he has been severely under medicated and they have doubled his dose.
