As ADD/ADHD isn’t a severe mental handicap, I have to say that as long as your partner knows what he/she is getting in to, then why should you not marry? No one is perfect, ADD or not. I can say it out loud that I for example would be a whole lot better for a future wife then a “normal” person beating her instead. In relationships it’s more of a personality type, NOT a handicap. If you say it is, then you are just making excuses.
Let me give an example to why I don’t see ADD/ADHD as a disorder: Where women all mentally handicapped before they had a right to vote, or was the structure of the society wrong? If you say the latter, at least consider how you would do in an environment similar to the stone age (when hunters not farmers), would you in that scenario call a person with ADD/ADHD handicapped or a benefit for the group? Depression as the most obvious example would be a disorder today and in the stone age.
Have a good communication with your partner(s) and you’re on! Live instead of impairing yourself.
