The challenges facing a person who is married to someone with untreated attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (also known as ADD or ADHD) can be difficult to navigate.
These challenges may be completely hidden to the rest of the world. No one seems to understand what you struggle with. Your spouse is such a “great guy” and may appear “together” to everyone else.
This article attempts to address some of the predictable patterns that one may experience being married to someone with ADD and why it creates such difficulty.
Being married to someone with untreated ADD is often fraught with a predictable progressive pattern that goes from happy to confused to angry, and finally, to hopeless. How does this happen and why is this so predictable in couples whose spouses have untreated ADD?

My wife has ADD and I never even noticed til we got married when It all came to par . Her mom has it too my wives side of the family all have it . And my wife’s attitude is hurting me and my kids life. I don’t want them to turn out like her !
She always throws that guilty nonsense on us . She always wants the house to look like a military quarters. Vacum the little carpet space 2 twice a day! I’m over all this crap.
to father with the wife from hell…
i am married to a man, now 8 years, who has ADD – I can sympathize with you completely. my husband is the opposite of your wife, I am the neat person, he is a slob.
In this article, it talks about being abandoned – which he did on our honeymoon. I am exhausted.
You and I have two options (I have no children) – stay or go. I choose to stay but I travel a lot, just to escape my environment. If I were you, I would go. I hope that this helps you in the future.
I was diagnosed with cervical cancer 10 years ago – While i was pregnant! As you could imagine, my pregnancy was stressful and i was ordered to bed rest.I couldn’t get any treatments for the cancer because i was “with child.” After the birth of my healthy son,i had surgery to remove part of my cervis and underwent radiation treatments, which made me extremely ill –So i have to look to the Internet for my last hope ,then i say a testimony about how DR OLOKUN helped Nancy from her problem so i contacted Nancy because there are so many scams on the Internet with her email nanc0147@yahoo.com to confirm if it was true which he is a true healer. , thank goodness.I contacted him immediately for help,so he cast a spell just like a miracle i was healed. I went to see my doctor for confirmation guess what my cancer was no more in me he said.All thanks to you the great spell caster and healer for saving my life i am in tears of joy.i advise you out there with any illness or crisis should contact him now.Description;
