You want him to do things he doesn’t do. You married a man child, and this must have been known to you. You can’t change him and magically have him turn into this other person.
Seriously? I can tell you that I didn't know my DH (I'm not OP) had ADHD when we got married and I'd known him for 6 years and lived together for 3 before we got married. It wasn't until after we had our 2nd kid that he was struggling with managing life with 2 kids. The coping strategies/mechanisms that previously worked for him no longer did. Even with 8 years of marriage counseling (off and on with same counselor), it wasn't until after one of our kids was diagnosed, that DH got an evaluation.
It's clear that many people posting have no idea what ADHD is like. I used to be like you. When it was suggested my DS could have ADHD, I scoffed. He didn't act like what I thought someone with ADHD acted. I was so very ignorant. Once I learned more about ADHD, it was clear that my DS and my DH had it. There's no cure for it but it can be better managed by teaching appropriate coping strategies and medication. It's hard for my DH because he has to un-learned so much.
