  • Both me and my partner have ADHD. Both of us deal with the things you shared. One of us is more avoidant and one of us is more anxious. Does this create problems and challenging times, yes. But we are both committed to communicating the best we can, growing, and improving. We have been together about 20 years. I think any relationship has a chance when both sides are willing to at least match the effort of the other side.







  • Couples counseling, do it. Worst case scenario things still don’t work out and you divorce with the knowledge that you sincerely tried to repair things. Also you will have learned and grown from the experience. Best case scenario you both work through some difficult things with help and started repairing the relationship.

    My guess is that both of you are exhausted. It is really hard to have optimism when don’t even have the energy for things you enjoy.
