I have an ADHD and high functional autistic partner and we've dated for more than a year now. Back then, i have no knowledge of ADHD or autistic behavior. after watching this video, i kinda see what was happening in my relationship. the 'being their parent' and not fulfilling promises woke me up instantly. i was emotionally drained ngl, get to the point where i have trust issues towards him. As for now, me and him are being neutral, he tries to give his best effort to try communicate better with me while i'm still educating myself. I just hope things goes well for both of us. Thank you!

Recently the problem with my adhd is that I know I have things to do but, before I do that thing I need to do something else first. And before I do that thing first, it turns out that I need to do something before that as well.

I find it hard to prioritize someone I'm in a relationship with and be actually productive. Attention is the most valuable resource for ppl with adhd. At times it may seem like you're getting the cold shoulder, but in those moments, if you take notice of the fact that during those times "parenting" wasn't needed. It's a give and take.

My fiance has Adhd and to be honest, it's really exhausting sometimes. I feel so alone in the relationship, and he is the center of everything. But I love him and I accept it that it's how it is. This kind of video helps a lot for me to see the reason to commit my vow with him.

My wife and step daughter, who is 14, have adhd. It's a real struggle sometimes because I feel like I have to parent them both at the same time, along with our 2 year old. It DOES feel like i'm raising 2 14 year olds that just feed off of each others symptoms. I love them so much. Thanks for making this video.

I wish I had this information while my husband was alive. My ADHD was very difficult on him for the 35+ years of our marriage and the rough parts were because we didn’t have all the skills we needed. Of course it would have helped if my autism had been diagnosed 😂

I was diagnosed a few years ago. I’m 52. Looking back now I can see what caused people to ghost me, and how so many things I do are connected to ADHD. When I tell people I have ADHD. Some say “doesn’t everyone have ADHD?” So it seems like an excuse. I stop telling people I have it. And just deal with my quirky self and make others laugh which then makes me happy. That’s how I find my conspire if I’m desperate for it:
Thank you for sharing. 😊

This is spot on and insightful. My relationship ended a few months ago and my ex cited a lot of inconsistency and “broken promises”. I also tended to get lost in conversations but I’d try to mask and pretend I was following along. I’m hoping to get officially diagnosed for ADHD because I believe it affects other areas of my life as well. I’m still grieving that relationship but it’s teaching me a lot about myself and what I need from a partner as someone with ADHD.

One thing that seems to help is the fact that my partner and I are both neurodivergent and very similar. So we understand more easily what’s going on and are automatically more empathetic. It’s also incentive to step up and help the other as opposed to doing chores for oneself.

This is what happened to my marriage. I am going on medication but I never realized how bad it was until my wife asked for a divorce after 10 years. Now I am getting help and hopefully will have a better future.

Thank you for this great advice - I will share this with my husband and also with my son! I’m a mom & grandma with pretty bad ADHD, and while it’s true that I do struggle with all those things that you mentioned, my husband has still been faithful to me for almost 34 years. My 23-year old son has even worse ADHD than I do, but he’s also fiercely loyal and has only had one serious girlfriend in his life, for the last 5 years, and they just got married recently. Thankfully, his wife really loves him, so I hope and pray that she won’t get tired of his lack of focus & not following through with stuff. I will send this video to both of them, and I will also look into your course.

I got diagnosed 3 years ago aged 54 - I have a string of failed relationships and now know this is down to my ADHD and getting into crappy relationships due to dopamine chasing. I wish I knew this stuff 30 years ago. Thankfully most of my mates both male and female have ADHD so I'm not socially isolated and I have a job where my skills are valued and a decent manager....But Its been a roller coaster ride for sure

ADHD takes a toll on all relationships. As a parent of a 40 years old ADHDer I have not just gone through the pain of seeing my son suffer since high school (he was finally diagnosed last year) but continue to struggle with the the emotional impact it has had on our relationship 💔

[burns_o_matic]

I find it weird that nobody ever seems to talk about how INCREDIBLY bored the ADHDer can become in a long-term relationship.

My ex boyfriend was ADHD together for 4 and a half years . I really tried but it did impact me emotionally so much.

[chelsea]

Im not a very talkative person I honestly love listening to him. I think were going to soothe eachother because he loves someone who listens and he makes me more confident because everything he says is usually whats in my head as well

[NiaLaLa_V]

People think I am joking when I say his time in the marines prepared my husband for a life with an adhd mess like me. But I am serious, that training helps him battle my brain on the daily. It takes a strong person to live with us.

[jalalstephens]

This is me I struggle with emotions and anger and I forget and miss so many details my spouse feels like it's me choosing not to care enough to be better

[peyyesy]

We just broke up after 13 months. Emotionally am drained

[gerbelle]

I went on about 10 dates with a guy with ADHD I really liked. Each date was great, he was charming, funny and attentive, but the time in between dates was difficult because sometimes he wouldn't text for 5-6 days, so not hearing from him at all. I basically always had to initiate contact.
He also told different stories about when he was gonna move to a different city (in 4 months or in two or even next month...) so I couldn't plan anything.
Now, for more than ten days I haven't heard from him and he also didn't remember my birthday or maybe he remembered but didn't congratulate me.
I think he might have moved now and I'll never get in contact again 😢
I reminded him how long ago our last talk was and that it was my birthday in the meantime, but nothing. Silence.
