Re: Understanding a partner with ADHD

@12ntaddup~You may want to send an email to your couples therapist detailing your concerns, making sure to acknowledge that you are in no way interested in getting him/her to take sides, but requesting advice in how to broach the subject with your husband. Perhaps, the therapist, with this new information, can observe behaviours and make recommendations based on those observations, so that the subject is brought up by someone other than you. Also, you didn’t mention if you have children? If children are present or planned for the future, this is something both of you should at least be aware of.

I am in a similar situation. I have ADD myself. My husband acknowledges that he probably does (it’s rampant in his family). He scored high in all tests he was willing to do and the documentary was like….duh! But he refuses to seek any sort of treatment. He likes how he is. Parts of who he is, is fantastic, but as you and I both know, there are parts that are extremely difficult to deal with.

I hope that whatever you choose to do (or not) works out for everyone concerned. I’m super-impressed that he was willing to go to councelling. Any suggestions on how I could get my hubby there?
