My girls are 6 and 9, I don't want that for them. From what you have related in your post, I think you could get a lot our of it. Bitterness grows from the tiniest of seeds. So I have TWO very disorganized people working against me.) anyway, i'm glad i found this site on a day like today, and I will be bringing up his ADD at marriage counseling again, next time we go.

As long as you’re still thinking, I have a partner, my partner should be there for me, they should be reliable, they should _____, whatever it is, as long as you are thinking and feeling this way (which is perfectly reasonable) … there is no way you are going to be able to do it on your own. And even with these topics, I'll try to figure out a solution first and then ask for his input, because the communication required to make decisions seems too burdensome for him. I could not stand to listen to my H constant complaints about everything and just took over to keep peace. He goes "What? If you are knowingly.....creating resentment.....you are creating a situation...that come will come back and haunt you somewhere later down the road. i'm freaking out thinking "what the hell where is he? When you have issues with mindfulness, you tend to send a message that you do not care, and you can become quite a taker without even realizing it is happening. My husband is good about crises (if a toilet is clogged, he will unclog it), but if something isn't a crisis, he forgets all about it. (like changing a channel) THAT was ESPECIALLY HARD to admit to myself. Thank you for sharing this. He only does it over really stupid things, never the important ones, and he will quickly drop it if I do. Thanks to everyone on this forum for being there when I needed you all, and for being there now, to remind me of how much I have to lose. They do not want you to know to avoid an argument. Then I realized there is no way I can ever empathize how his brain functions. The last was severely depressed but now finally has gotten a hold on her life and is taking it for all that is has to offer her. I have lists a mile long of all the things I do that never get reciprocated. The truth is that the dad rarely worked. We need people in our lives to say "don't give up one more thing.". The very ONLY thing D was concerned about, was am-phe-ta-mi-nes! Insecurity is also the culprit to a host of other issues including Narcissism as mentioned earlier. This is not even close to what I signed up for when I got married. He has made changes too - but its been over a long time, and it will take a long time for you too.

I always thought she was just ignoring me completely and not listening at all and just deciding to do what she wanted and could care less what I said? I tell you this because I don't know what to do with the fact that my wife cannot remember anything about what I like in bed. Endless typing of prolix posts and comments as an obsession unto itself. We celebrate 32 years of marriage in less than a month. I made the right choices, I followed the rules, and now how did I end up raising a 13 year old boy...ALONE? His son has been diagnosed as having Asperger and ADD but my BF seems to be in partially denial of that and wants to treat him like he's a normal high school kid. They were before we began seeing each other. Which bothers me even more now than it did at the time, because as ALWAYS, he went straight to making it about HIM and how HE felt!

It's a double edged sword. Submitted by GiveMePatience on Wed, 08/31/2016 - 20:00. When things were bad with my husband, which wasn't awful, I found that when I put some extra effort into the relationship, which I wanted to do, because I loved him so and loved us together, he responded, and all was well. And as for the kids? So I claimed $5,000 went into that, when it turned out it was just in a regular account. And for all this I get the pleasure of him being a husband in our bedroom once a year. The same thing with sex. ADD with bells on, but trying so hard. HA! He showed you he understood and made promises and explained why he knew it was wrong and he was sorry. It has been my entire life that I have looked out for him and the ways he acts around people. I had abuse from my past, but THIS relationship has been so MUCH more difficult than that. I hope you find some answers to why things are the way they are with your husband and that things improve for you. Is this because we, the members of his family, aren't "shiny" anymore (ADHD), or because of some other problem? He had good reasons, after all, right? stop needing me so much. THEN make an educated decision. I am picking up every single peice of me that has fallen to the ground and shattered. I was someone who wanted to be "loving", not a diva. Oh, just so we ALL know here, according to the DSM-5 (which is the "bible" of the American Psychiatric Association) this empathy impairment symptom is present in all 3 Personality disorders I have evoked (and yes I DO have the DSM-5), Now let's go back to what has been said: odds are that "whoever is saying narcissism".... Might very well be completely accurate! Most people would say - how lucky! If a same-sex couple gets married but one spouse is still married to another person, the second marriage is invalid. I have never seen anyone in such denial of his son's mental problems. The Greatest Prize I have been married twice, first time to a narcissistic man with OCD tendencies (and abusive) and second time to Mr. ADHD, a nice man but withdrew from me emotionally after a short time. We all think that raising 2 kids being a single mom, is harder than staying with our ADHD spouse; this is only true when your spouse carries their weight. It is not in my best interest and only serves the best interest of someone else....besides me? I sometimes wish I could be. Really? If I could use the barf emoji here I would! I'm sorry that your husband has not recognized your sacrifice more overtly...please learn from this and start to focus on yourself more now. I have to admit, I'm afraid. Let it bleed. I'm afraid there are more back taxes due, next time with a fine. These are all very good reasons. I would also look into any social work and low-cost legal resources where you live. Married three years ago to a man with ADD. My husband has been throwing his muddy boots on the floor of our closet lately (a nice hardwood floor). I've stuck around close to 32 years now. Go forth and find them; there are probably about four to choose from in the continental US. But then she is mad when I stop asking because I don't want her. This I have found....works to avoid conflict and keep the conversation moving even is she is doing the same thing with me....that I don't really like myself. Again -- it's not okay, but there are reasons why we get angry at our spouses with ADHD. All I have to say is- who wouldn't be depressed with seven children that have something a bit off about them, a husband that starts up new jobs/business deals thus being absent, living in the middle of nowhere (not kidding) and doing it all on your own. I do know that love changes as the years go by, and it deepens and matures, but I always have held the belief that a couple could "stay IN LOVE" with each other if they felt that, and continued to tell each other that......and MEAN it. I guess that is the number one problem I have with him and with our marriage. You're managing an incredibly intricate family life. How do you parent virtually alone? Good luck to all of you on this forum. I was a single mother for 12 years. I couldn't tell WHAT he was thinking because he DOES NOT TALK TO ME. I recently found some old college note books and read them again after all these years and they not only made sense....but I would even go as far as hand them to someone else and say here....just look at this? You're struggling to make ends meet, but surely you'd have more money if you weren't having to feed and provide for this "do little" adult. He can't hold a good job, he lives in disorganization. LOL I actually knocked a kid out (unconscious...accidentally of course) by hitting him so hard and in just the right spot (in his diaphragm) that he took about 6 steps and then fell flat on his face from lack of oxygen.

I have even wondered at times if he was spiritually possessed...the crap that comes out of his mind through his mouth is unbelievable. unique reference book that will help Should I not be able to control it??)) :-(, Submitted by 20YrVet on Tue, 01/21/2014 - 19:24. I agree, Supermommy, that in a household with small children, if one adult cant complete child care, financial or home management tasks, the other adult must double up on the work and do the extra.

Submitted by kellyj on Sat, 03/21/2015 - 20:35, And when it ends...then what? He called me a loser today. In whatever ways you and your spouse change with age, one thing about you should never change: that you accept your spouse just as they are. Here lately he eats all the food in the house that my food stamps pays for, and plays video games. He realizes he is full of negativity when he communicates with me so he stopped talking to me. This is my life! I sat for 3 hours one day helping him with his homework. (I still do believe that is the core of a relationship - CARING and ATTENTION to the well-being of someone or something)  When you care about someone, you give of yourself so they may be better - so that the marriage and the family may be better. Well yes indeed. One step at a time. Just like you shouldn't expect him to function like a normal person. I've grown leaps and bounds since seeing my counselor. You first...AFTER ME! Where I live, there is a Safe Place and Rape Crisis Center (SPARCC) for women. Frankly, I  agree with all these ladies, we are all single mothers and we have one huge rather unpleasant adolescent who will never grow up. I've written a lot about my situation in other threads on this forum, but this topic (not being able to rely on the partner with ADHD) is probably the key to my unhappiness in my marriage. My husband was diagnosed w/ ADD (inattentive type) in the Spring. All the patience in the world. For example, once when his task was to take the dog to the sitter ahead of a trip, he added collecting a check from our renter, screwed up endorsing the check in his haste and spent hours driving around the metro area trying to get a bank to cash it. The unhealthening is complete. I'm another one who feels some of your pain; who maybe gets it. Your post sounds like a summary of my marriage, lol. I am not saying that to be dramatic, I literally feel exhausted emotionally and physically all the time. Out of mind, out of sight. I only presumed it was Asperger's Syndrome as opposed to ADD because of the three other "subjects" in which I can compare him to. She gets mad because 'sex isn't about her'. I left my four year old with husband at a holiday resort for five minutes so I could have a break (four year old hyperactive ADHD and I was exhausted). His ADHD traits are amplified when he is under stress. When he stops making you happy, demand change or part ways. As you do this, good things will unfold in your life -- whether or not your husband cooperates. Since then we have been on the up. The other thing that has happened is that I am really not that attracted to him, for a very long time now, because the relationship is so parental in my view. His need for adrenaline will prompt him to feel justified in watching a fire when he's the one who has the matches in his pocket. He asked me to order drapes for our windows, and they have been sitting there for months, waiting for him to put them up. If you and your former spouse cannot agree on how to divide your marital assets, including inheritance you have received, you will normally need to attend family dispute resolution before Court proceedings can take place.Coming to an agreement before going to Court is the best way to minimise the emotional and financial stress involved. We ended up having to give our dog to my mom bc neither of us would remember to take him out, and he would always be getting into the trash or something and we just couldn't handle that AND our depression at the same time. No matter how many times he reminded you to keep your promises? I am really sorry that you feel tethered to your marriage due to your husband's threats. I wish I had direct advice for you. believe me, my heart goes out to single moms. I think I had sex 3 times last year! Menopause? Most of the time, I try to bury the pain, but anniversaries and holidays magnify them and they cant be ignored any longer and I blow up! But my brother is not -in any way- my father. Game designers that need parts made, friends overseas that can't get games that I find for them. Well maybe if I had a little help I wouldn't be so stressed! The thing you said about not wanting to admit or see the problem or going to therapy might be one big red flag in itself. Submitted by lauren07 on Tue, 01/12/2016 - 17:10. I opened the door to find my daughter pulling up her pants. You both gave and received many things from each other and your relationship. I was mad about the fine, because I can think of much better ways to spend $750 (MUCH better ways!!! My son did something hugely stupid on Facebook that needs to be addressed immediately. He'll get frustrated with our son, who only does wrong in his eyes ever since the baby was born. I want you to be my rock. He will never see that it is his actions causing me pain; it's not of my own choosing as he says it is. Nonetheless, I have stood my ground from the minute I went off the meds and put this all together. He was spot on, and it's really hard not to wish I was with someone that perceptive and caring. I only get it when HE wants it. I got a $700 tax bill a few weeks ago because when H opened my IRA for me, he didn't actually open an IRA. I have to sit here and accept that my home is embarrassingly messy, because I am the only person who will pick up after themselves. It was really, really astonishing to watch. I'd like to know what is wrong with him that he can't be there for me. When I do mention what the problem is,, it's usually because it's weighing so heavy on my mind that I just want to break down crying and leave for good. I could very well feel even worse. Though it was not like he was really doing something else that he couldn't make it or participate more in our lives.
