[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Random posts from random threads indicates that this should be avoided. I understand feeling empathy for those with this, but where is the empathy for those who have to deal with these people? Really I should say "these men" because it mostly seems to be men with ADHD who cause stress.

[quote=Anonymous]Nope nope nope. Married to DH who was diagnosed with ADHD only recently, and only when the addition of children in our live broke/overwhelmed his existing cover mechanisms and coping skills. If he's not managing it as a bachelor, it will only get worse when a partnership and shared responsibility as well as cooperation are required. If I was dating DH when he was diagnosed and the symptoms appeared rather than marries with kids, I would have run. [/quote]

[quote=Anonymous]Any tips on living with an ADHD partner? Oy. Love him to death but omg...sometimes it gets a little overwhelming. It shouldn't be my responsibility to finish all his projects and clean up all his messes! I already have toddlers for that!

[quote=Anonymous]would I marry someone with ADHD?

only if we didn't plan to have kids. Or, I planned to SAHM and handle everything myself and not get resentful.

There are many women with ADD and ADHD as well. We're just underdiagnosed.  It usually becomes apparent after having kids who are diagnosed with ADHD. It's also masked by the normal chaos of childrearing.   [/quote]
