I am so exhausted, tired. I am solo at the end of the relationship with my boyfriend. He vocalized how tired he is of how tired I make him feel and I drive him crazy. So bad, I left to a hotel room tonight after he said how crazy I drive him :(

I'm glad you made a video to help people with adhd in relationships but I think you've forgotten men and people with adhd don't like feeling like there being controlled.I think this is a mistake a lot of women innocently make. No one wants to have their life managed.but I see what your doing (being helpful) and appreciate you.

I love these ideas because my partner has ADHD and I am very organized... My concern is that when I try to organize things or have a process for things, he doesn't remember to go with it. For example, on the dishwasher I got one of those magnets that says when the dishes are clean or dirty because he forgets, but he also forgets to flip the magnet... I think organization is good if the person can follow it, but what about people who even struggle with that and don't like schedules and plans? It's so difficult! Any ideas?

I can't get my husband to write things down. I don't know what to do.

Thank you for getting to the point and drawing me in..every other videos (even ted talks) are long, hard to stay interested in and has a lot of filler content. Most are 20- and hour and cant show my wife to better understand my ADHD
