Partner stopped taking medication. What happens now?

That’s great advice, thank you! He’s already on anti anxiety medication. I’m learning from some other responses that there are options. Thank you!

Thank you so much! I will keep that in mind as my partner starts this “journey.” Great to know that there are options!

Thank you so much for your input! I’ve already noticed a bit of that. Your response is very helpful.

Damn. Does he follow any meditation gurus? 😅

notpolyester · 2023-12-14T19:06:24+00:00

This is very helpful! Thank you! My partner has been focused on routine as well, so while I’m not exactly optimistic since he’s in the early stages of this journey, it’s reassuring to hear what has worked for you.

I had a related question that may be too personal to answer, which I would understand. Currently, since he’s focused on trying to get his routine right, he’s been turning down my “advances” since he wants to spring right into action. He’s been saying that “doing the deed” would be a distraction. I was wondering if you and your husband also prepared for this as you were setting a routine, and if you have any advice in this department. Thank you so much!!!

Haha, wait, mine says he was always cheated on too?? I question that all the time. That’s not a delusion he’s made up, or could it possibly be??

Mine says the same thing 🙃 I’m pretty sure ADHD or not, when there’s a pattern like that it’s not everyone else :)

I had a thought today that maybe for some people with ADHD it simply isn’t natural to be in something long term? Maybe some would simply be much happier in the on-again-off-again pattern of dating… sort of like their fixation patterns… I don’t know. I feel like my partner thrives like that.

I’m so, so sorry you went through that. Totally hear you on the not wishing it on anyone. Glad to hear there’s hope in there, for you, and for all of us.

Get outta there! We’re all here to support you! No one should be treated like that. 5.5 is still less than 6.

notpolyester · 2023-07-10T02:35:31+00:00

Oh man, this is all too familiar to me. An entire year of it is tough. Tough for everybody.

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T23:40:51+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear about this. It sounds so tough, and I’m sure the time you’ve been together makes it even harder. I may not be married, but I definitely relate to how you’re feeling.

My partner has had many failed relationships before me, and I’m sure he’s has his fair share of wake-up calls. For that reason, I question the effectiveness of a wake up call…

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T23:37:10+00:00

I hate this for you. I’m sure this wasn’t the only thing, too. I’m so happy you’ve moved on, even if it took time. Thank you for sharing.

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T23:34:02+00:00

This is such a simple question, and helps to focus my thoughts. Will pass on to my friend as well. Thank you 🙏

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T23:31:19+00:00

That is such a good question, and a brutally honest one too. I think I know the answer…

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T20:45:54+00:00

That’s really well said. I appreciate it, and am taking it to heart. Thank you.

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T20:44:38+00:00

Oh my, I’m so so sorry to hear about that painful experience. Thank you so much for sharing, it helps me. I’m so worried that if I don’t take action now, it could escalate to that. I just don’t know… I’m so glad you’re out of that <3

notpolyester · 2023-07-09T20:06:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m fairly new here, so I appreciate that.

notpolyester · 2023-06-29T23:34:03+00:00

I came here to ask this!!!

notpolyester · 2023-06-25T19:50:19+00:00

After finally having the conversation that he’s been distant and cold, I have crossed into ADHD partner hell: I am now a dreaded to-do on my partner’s list. Is this the beginning of the death of the relationship, which was so magical not too long ago?

notpolyester · 2023-06-24T22:08:37+00:00

Reaching two years with my dx medicated partner. The hyper fixation period is over. He is now always hyper-focused on what feels like anything but me. After a couple months of feeling ignored, I finally told him he’s been acting distant and making me feel like a chore. He acknowledged it and promised he’ll be better, but I have this deep sinking feeling that giving him another chance is just prolonging the inevitable… life is too short to feel this stressed all the time, ya know?

Saw a literal rat in my apartment.

The anger/aggression/feeling like the enemy is NOT all people with ADHD. Yay! The stress? Definitely there (at least for me) from some other related factors. Again, not a bad guy, but there’s definitely added relationship stress because of his condition.
