Can ADHD cause someone to not know they said something?

My husband today mumbled, "Of course" as he was leaving the room in response to something my daughter said. I told him it was extremely rude and mean to respond that way. He was adamant that he didn't say anything at all. I was dumbfounded. I know what I heard.

He ended by telling me that "You are a good lay". That feel upsetting too. But things have always been hard to live with with him. He now curtly refuses to discuss the matter of his marital plans. I try to cope with the uncertainty.

All I feel is relief....

My husband has been staying at his brother's house for the last two weeks, and will soon be staying in a house he bought several months ago.  All I feel is a profound sense of relief...the constant anxiety is easing a little bit every day and I actually feel optimistic about the future for the first time in years.  Although my children are all still at home and I have to deal with my Sjogren's Syndrome on a daily basis (it's not fun), I feel GOOD.  Twenty six years of living with his ADHD and OCD have taken such a tremendous toll on my physical and mental health that it's almost like the ai
