[quote=Anonymous]OP, I found myself in a very similar situation, only I didn't get out until I was almost 35. Adult ADHD can be crippling for relationships. In my case, my boyfriend didn't have substance abuse problems, but had problems with authority, difficulties at work that eventually got him fired, a troubled relationship history including a very ugly divorce, and a porn addiction. He was also the smartest, funniest man I ever knew, and we had a magical, maddening relationship that lasted 6 years.

We tried couples therapy, where he began exploring some of his issues and getting treated for the ADHD. We never seemed to get any closer to working out our problems, however, and I eventually broke it off, much to his relief.

When I met the man who I wound up marrying, I knew within the first few dates that he wanted a serious relationship leading to marriage and children. We were married two years later and have a wonderful child. I sometimes try to picture my ex doing the late night feedings with a baby or suffering through a preschool birthday party and know that he never, ever would have wanted this life.

Good luck. It's tough, but it sounds like you're almost there.[/quote]
