[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dated a man like this. I remember one particular story - there was this little gift box full of Christmas cookies on his dining table. This was in March. He claimed he had no idea they were there. And had no shame about it - [b]like he was a passive observer of his own house.[/b] This was an urban home - not a huge palace where you never see your own dining room. He was a successful attorney. I am glad I didn’t marry him. My husband is a mess in other ways, to be clear. But ADHD for me was hard to watch.

If you don’t have kids, OP, I might bounce. [/quote]

OMG this. Everything my ADHD husband does is thoughtless and he uses a passive voice to describe all the dumb stuff he does.

Me (making dinner/picking up kids/finishing a work call): Hey, will you please wash the lettuce? It's right there. 
DH (doing fun stuff on a phone): Ok
...
Five minutes later, the lettuce is in a colander in the sink with scalding hot water running over it. DH is in the other room, doing more fun stuff on his phone. 
...
Me: Um, are you washing the lettuce with hot water?
DH: You told me to wash lettuce! 
Me: But why hot water? Won't that wilt the lettuce?
DH: Jesus Christ, I'm helping you. The water was hot when it came out of the sink.

This is my life. Feeling like a harpy (harpie?) bc I articulate issues when dh does certain things like ‘help with the groceries’ ie order a weeks worth of groceries containing zero protein or even really any ingredient for an actual meals.

Then they wonder why the bedroom aspect diminishes. [/quote]
