[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again - and I certainly don't apologize or do what he wants me to do when he's in such a mood. I used the "I can't talk to you when you're like this" before, but now making fun of him gets me results earlier. I smile and make fun of his lack of emotional control, and point out that he's having a tantrum like a giant baby - and he stops instantly.[/quote]

Are you planning on divorcing? [/quote]

No.

He doesn't swear and raise his voice as often as seems to do OP's husband... BUT he refuses to treat his ADHD and has thus dropped the ball on some pretty major life-altering things, and that's actually more impactful, sadly. If it was just occasional anger, I could handle it fine. With the executive function issues from ADHD, it's hard. He forgets to file important stuff for work and home regularly, has lost jobs, forgotten to sign us up for health insurance, wastes money by accumulating late fees, doesn't lift a finger in the house because he doesn't know how to pick something up and chose a place for it, drives erratically, is habitually tardy to everything, etc. Usually arguments start when I find out that he's messed up once again, and he becomes defensive about it. I have asked to do the work for him, but at this point, I can't take away more stuff.

Reasons for not divorcing are that he would not be a good father and role model to our young children during his custody share because I wouldn't be there to smooth things out (and he would definitely insist on half the time), that we are of one mind financially/investment-wise, in parenting and everything else aside from his occasional fits of crazy, and that I really don't want to start again on my own. He is also brilliant and knowledgeable, and does have a positive influence on the children and I intellectually. We are never bored with him.
