[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll offer a dissenting view - have you tried to become more organized? Have you levelled with your husband and said, "If you leave the gifts I buy and receive alone, I'd love your help to become more organized"?[/quote]

I trued and I should try more. In search of becoming more organized I went to therapy and was diagnosed with an adult ADD. I don't know how the two of us ended up together really:)[/quote]

The first thing I thought of when I read your post was that you may have ADD. This is a very common dynamic in ADHD marriages, in my case I am the control freak. (My mothet in law has it, and my father in law is the cobtrol freak) But let's be clear, it doesn't excuse my behavior of being a control freak and it doesn't mean it's okay for me to treat my husband this way. I am prone to anxiety and depression and I have sought medication for that. Please check out the ADHDmarriage.com website, she has books and we are currently doing her seminar, she doesn't put all the blame on the ADHD partner, but instead tries to help both people understand what it's like for the other and find solutions. We haven't done therapy but we have CBT & DBT workbooks, and marriage books to try to improve. It's not going to get better on its own.[/quote]
