Hi, I am married to an ADD husband for half a year, but we've been together for longer, about 2 years. I love him very much and I know that he loves me. But like everybody knows just love is not enough for a happy marriage. He told me that he had ADD right after we met - but the thing is that I didn't know much about it at all and I didn't pay enough attention to the fact that he has it - I just thought that it's just hard for him to concentrate sometimes, I had no idea what ADD truly was and how to deal with it.

I have been married to an undiagnosed ADHD husband for 11 years.  This site makes me realize I am not crazy afterall...!  It's also a little sad because I have been living in total stress, exhaustion and chaos for SO long.  It has affected my health, my credit (I now have none), my sex life, my family, and obviously my marriage.  I am currently considering divorce. 

I have been the spouse of just over 15 years to a wife with ADHD.  Like all of the other stories I read, when we dated, all was great.  When we got married it all changed...immediately.  I found out a month after we got married that she had been sleeping with my best friend while we dated and were engaged, and the weeks before we got married, she said she slept with several men to get "it" out of her system.  She had numerous flings during our first 4 years of marriage and now that I look back, I was too young, insecure, and depressed to deal with it.  She promised me (after she was caught

I am not married, but this is the only site where I felt everyone understood what each other was going through. I have been with my partner a mere 7 months. Sounds crazy that I find it diffucult already doesnt it? But, yes. I have. I feel so unloved at times, he is the most confusing person i have ever met. I have spent hours crying at this behaviour.

I am a husbant with ADHS and it is driving a wedge between my family and me.  I have just recently found out that I have this.  Now I am taking meds. for this.  However, my wife seems like it is not helping and the communication is just not there for her eather.  She needs to talk at night and I am normaly tired at the end of the day.  She wants me to sit there and look at her for the whole time.  I can not do this with out getting sleepy eyes as she calls it.  I really do not want this to happen and i try hard but when i start to walk and keep myself awake she gets mad.

We've just posted a new forum area to which we hope you will contribute - "What Gives You Hope".  Quite a few people on this site have noticed that a lot of what gets said is negative because people who seek the site out are often really suffering.  Yet people do make real progress in their ADD relationships...so we wanted people to be able to post about it here.  What has helped you?  What does "progress" look like in your relationship?  What gives you hope?  Your ideas will help many people, so don't be shy!

My husband and I have been together for 10 years and married for 4.  I am a teacher and have been educated on the aspects of ADHD and have always felt that my husband exhibits all of the signs.  Anytime I try to talk to him he gets very angry and feels that I am only saying these things to hurt his feelings.  I am really worried about him, especially now that we have a 2 month old son.  Our marriage and relationship are greatly suffering because of his condition.  I am desprately seeking advice on how to approach this delicate topic with him so that we can get the help he greatly needs.
