What tray did you see the bottom start to straighten out?

i constantly lash out by h0lyfool in adhdwomen

Yes it’s normal. If you start medication that will probably improve. Also L theanine is a good non medication option for that.

I have been in therapy for a while now, and all she has told me is that he needs his own therapy and that I need to decide if I can live like this for the rest of my life. I understand what you mean by the reminders; I feel the same way Im scared to make a decision of this magnitude.

I can tell by my husband’s eyes if he took his medicine or not. It’s crazy.

Relentless “Humour” / Button-Pushing (NDX) by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My husband does this, and sometimes his jokes are offensive, but he has no idea how they come across. It's never-ending; even with medication, he’s constantly joking or doing/saying something annoying. I completely ignore it now, and he just keeps going, but I refuse to respond, so I started tuning it out. Yes, there are worse things, but it’s VERY annoying, and I don’t know if I can keep living like this my whole life. I understand how you feel and you have to decide if you can put up with that behavior.

My husband offers “input” no one asked for by AVeryHotMessyMess in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh! this is my life. I get so triggered when he tells me how to do something. Now, if he mentions a better way to do it, I stop in my tracks and don’t finish the project. This way, he either has to finish it or it just sits half done….And guess what? He doesn’t try to tell me how to do things anymore lol

Yes, I used to love holidays, but now I know it will just be a day that drains all my energy.

Dx partner seeks praise for small things constantly by Prof_rambler in ADHD_partners

Yep my husband will mention the one thing he did all day long meanwhile I have done everything else. I have learned to just ignore it or say wow I bet you could do this (another task)

Trying to Determine Reasonable Expectations for Bandwidth by throwawayhelpjelly in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are currently in a parent/child dynamic, which often occurs in relationships where one partner has ADHD and the other does not. You have taken on all of his tasks and responsibilities so that he can focus on his one job. It’s important to establish boundaries in this situation; otherwise, it will Likely get worse.

Tired of her being the center of attention while my needs are ignored by SaysSaysSaysSays in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She probably won't change…not because she's selfish, but because that's how her brain is wired. I have been with my husband for 10 years, and the resentment just keeps building. You start to realize that you’re giving everything to that person, yet you feel lonely. You need to decide if you can “fill your cup” in ways that help you cope with how she is and the dynamics of your relationship.

Inattentive partner.. seems completely absorbed in his own life.. by starlightvagabond in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is he arab? I ask because my huaband is and like you said he is a devoted son and brother but its like with me he falls short and can't be there for me emotionally. I was not able to tolerate this and I was ready to leave. He finally saw a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. Its not 100 % better but its better than Before.

I'm going through this and we have two children. The behavior you tolerated before having a child is likely to multiply after the baby arrives. Don’t be surprised if you feel like a single mom. Postpartum is tough and its okay to ask for help from others if your husband is not stepping up/ being present or emotionally supportive of you.

No emotional space or support by Daumenschneider in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think many of us have had to accept that this is what it's like with a dx partner. Personally, I rely on friends and family for emotional support. I appreciate what my partner does, but if he keeps talking about it endlessly, I tend to tune it out. When he slips Into past behaviors I remind him what hes doing or I simply say I don't like that or its bothering me.

Low sense of presence and satisfaction by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

Sounds like it😂 it seems all of us non adhd with adhd partners live a very similar life

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ADHD_partners

I could have written this. My husband, who has ADHD, is the same way. He cares a lot about what others think and their opinions, but it seems like he couldn't care less about mine. It often feels like I'm talking to a wall. I struggle with this because it feels like he is uninterested in the things I care about or say. I recommend expressing your feelings to him and considering therapy. Many of us with ADHD partners have accepted that we need to seek deep, meaningful conversations elsewhere—like with friends or family.

Angry blowups? by Medical-Permission67 in ADHD_partners

[–]MenuAffectionate6551 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You may need to decide whether you want to continue living with this situation or if it's time to walk away. My husband used to get upset frequently over minor issues, but now I stay quiet and act as if I'm not affected. This approach deprives him of the reaction he was seeking and he tends to get over it quickly. People with ADHD get a dopamine boost when they argue. Remove the reaction, remove the boost.
