[quote=Anonymous]If it's important to you to have someone who will do things like plan dates, follow through on commitments to you without you being constantly on him about it, and he's already bad about these things, you should split now. Because, it's not going to get better. If you're not ok with basically having to be the primary executive function for both of you, or he gets defensive or resentful or sulky of you for reminding him about following through on something, you should leave now. It is true that plenty of people with ADD can create the systems they need to follow through on their commitments to others, and will allow their partner to help them along on what they lack, BUT that requires the person to also have the emotional intelligence to be self-aware of their limitations, and to put effort into dealing with them, and to be able to accept help graciously. And, a lot of people just don't have that, so it's that lack plus the ADD that will make him a bad partner.[/quote]
