Question - (9 December 2006) 1 Answers - (Newest, 10 December 2006)
A female age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My ex has AD/HD and it drives me crazy, because I don't know how much of his unaccepable behavior is down to this. I've always told myself that the things he does are due to his condition, in which case I can work through it. But I'm starting to doubt him, after a year of us being an on/off couple. I need to make the decision as to whether I should move on or keep trying to work through our relationship. He's sending me seriously mixed messages at the moment, and I know that it's up to me as to whether we're finished for good. It's his AD/HD that stops me from leaving him altogether, but if that's not what's causing the majority of the bad stuff in our relationship then I'm going to learn how to move on. Does anyone have any information or know and good sites about AD/HD and relationships?

Add and Adhd are hard to live with..and they can make things hard for your partner as well. I have been diagnosed with it and I lost a partner because of it. There is so much information out there...just check a bookstore and at any one time there can be ten books for you to read. Fuzzy thinking, short attention span, disorganization and just being a chaotic person to be around all add up to a.d.d. You are not alone in feeling frustrated in dealing with this. Has your boyfriend made moves to get help because it is out there. Medication can help to give focus and could make your life easier as well...as one who has A.D.D I must say that there are no easy fixes here. But...is he a nice guy, a considerate guy? I guess you have to search your heart and decide if you can live with this disorder...it is ok if you cannot too...just a suggestion. I would insist that he get some help in the way of a support group...or maybe medication. I am on some meds now and it has really helped with focus. Good luckxx00
