[quote=Anonymous]I don't know why I click on these threads--so many people just trying to find something to blame for their lousy marriages.  
Op, the answer is that you marry the individual, not a diagnosis.  If your boyfriend is unreliable, disrespectful of your time and effort and lacks insight into his own shortcomings, you should dump him--it doesn't matter what the cause is.  Many people with ADHD have a tremendous amount of insight into their condition and how to arrange their life to provide the necessary structural supports.  It's like diabetes or allergies--you have to recognize the condition and what you need to do in order to minimize symptoms.

And PP, I have a highly competitive white collar job.  I  never late with assignments--it's not that hard to be on time with electronic calendars, pop up reminderd, plus I use a set of routines I've developed to keep track of my dozens of concurrent assignments.  You know whose always late with assignments?  The damn millenials that work under me, all of whom seem to think that dates are mere suggestions.  I don't think they all have ADHD--it's just how they were raised.  So, again, look to how someone acts, not their diagnosis.
