[quote=Anonymous]I think it is really hard to assess from this post whether you really do screw up all the time or if you are just beaten down by an overly critical husband. I really would suggest that you talk to a therapist about the dynamics in your relationship with lots of specific examples and also get an ADHD assessment. Because whether or not you are screwing things up, you could also have a jackass for a husband.

I’m the super high functioning one with an ADHD husband. I’m overly critical at times. He doesn’t do enough to compensate sometimes. We have both gotten much better about this over the 20 years we have been together. I will also say that menopausal brain fog has made me appreciate how hard it is when your executive functioning just isn’t there. My husband and I joke around about how everything is going to fall apart now that I’m making dumb mistakes too all the time — scheduling mishaps, screwing up a flight reservation, etc.

And your husband not extending any grace when you are sick sounds terrible to me.[/quote]
