How ADHD affects relationships?
(ADHD and Relationships; ADHD and Relationship Problems; ADHD and Relationship Issues)
ADHD can affect many areas of our life including relationships with our loved ones.
If you are the one with ADHD, you often feel misunderstood, constantly being criticized, and micromanaged. No matter what you do, nothing seems to please your spouse or partner.
If you are the one without ADHD, you may feel lonely, ignored, and unappreciated. You are tired of being the only responsible one in the relationship. Sometimes you feel as if your partner just doesn’t care.
These feelings and assumptions may leave both sides feel unhappy, resentful or exhausted often, which can be detrimental to the relationship.
In this video, we are going to talk about the most common ADHD symptoms that can cause relationship problems and ways to overcome these challenges in a relationship with someone with ADHD.

what the hyperfocus part didn't mention is the fact that when you have ADHD, your partner can become the target of your hyperfocus... which is something I think I struggle with and I need to keep myself in check as to not go overboard and come across as clingy or too needy and become too much for them. I also fear how I'm gonna change once that hyperfocus phase wears off

I deal with something similar, but instead it's with a friend whom I hyperfocus on, not my partner, and I feel emotions around affection really strongly, so it ends with me being too clingy with my friend and makes my partner jealous, but they're really the only one I can to talk to about it on a regular basis. Really sucks.

my gf have adhd, she was hyperfocued on me for two month, i was so happy that i had someone who cares a lot, loves me, interested in all the aspects of my life, this phase has sat a big expectation , once the hyperfocus phase passed, it created so many issues, i felt that my partner dosen't care anymore, the relationship means nothing to her and her priority just changed, it made me so frustrated, unhappy,it felt that she just lost interest in me and the relationship, i started having doubts that she is cheating or have someone else who she likes now, i tried not to take it personal but its so difficult, i know she loves me the same way or even more but her actions are saying otherwise, now we are on a break and i'm considering breaking up

Thank you for the video. You hit all the aspects. If the non ADHD partner has been trying their best to support the ADHD partner, but the ADHD partner is not will to acquire awareness and seek treatment, it is almost impossible. It gets very painful for both partners. Dealing with the self centered aspect and feeling forced to just accept what they do is not fair. I know that people talk about wanting a more positive video. However, someone has to speak up about the negative aspects which are very detrimental to a non ADHD partners.

This is one of the most brutal aspects of this condition... and no one told me about it until I was in the thick of the problem. For example, as an ADHD person you will intuitively seek out someone highly organized and without an executive-functioning problem in order to compensate for your deficiencies in this regard. This is PRECISELY the person who will likely have the hardest time understanding your condition and who will perceive it as immaturity, a lack of care/love, selfishness, etc... and which will drive them away intimately over time. You will get into nasty fights and you will find yourself being on the defensive a lot because you KNOW your intentions WERE THERE, you just failed to execute (sometimes). This will make you angry at both your partner and yourself. You assumed, wrongly, that they would come to appreciate the aspects of you that do not have to do with the "administrivia" of life that feels to you like pulling fingernails... but that is likely not how it will play out. This goes doubly so if you meet this person when you are older and who is less mentally-flexible about the accommodations necessary. You may show them a video about being in a serious relationship with someone who is ADHD, they may seem to understand better, but one week later you will fall back into the same toxic patterns. Now throw the massive increase in responsibility of a child into this mix. If your relationship was on thin ice before, this will likely break it. You will feel lonely, misunderstood, disrespected and will suffer a lack of intimacy... You will know that you love your child and partner but will watch feeling helpless as your partner remembers something important regarding the child that slipped your mind, and you will feel guilty and ashamed about it. Paradoxically, by leaning on this person for organizational duties (since you both know they are better at them), your own (weak) organizational/conscientiousness skills will actually worsen, so your best option may be to erect a massive boundary where you try to take care of ALL your life's necessities... but now what of the child, and the home you share? It starts to make sense to separate and to each take care of the child for 1 week at a time, where you can care for them free of the constant judgment of your partner (but now you must be there for them 24/7... at least you have the off-weeks to relax and maybe find someone else?)

@@romienjoseph2458 Hey man, you're not alone. individual and couples therapy with someone who understands the pros and cons of this condition can help with coming up with understanding and mitigating strategies. At the very least, our technological world has provided many assistive devices to help here (simple example- my partner must merely invite me to appointments and it automatically shows up on my calendar and I automatically get alerts, even without agreeing to the appointment!). Maybe I should start a support group for husbands/dads in particular who are struggling with this? Or couples? I don't know...

My bæ got really bad ADHD but I can def tell there’s been a huge improvement on effort from their part on bettering our relationship and vice versa. I have PTSD so sometimes similar symptoms align.. Like zoning out. So on that front we don’t really take it super personal when we do that. The responsibility part tho hit for a min, but it’s gotten better. I see us working out in the long run but this helped me understand our dynamic and how to better it a bit more.

My therapist ¨can't believe¨ how much patience I have, but it just seems natural to me. Idk I'm a weird ass maniac depressive and my partner is a super spontaneous ADHDer but somehow we work??

I got diagnosed with mild adhd and i realize that my ex partner was really annoyed at many habits i had that are actually adhd. Like that i put the dishes into the dishwasher each time differently. Like they got clean fine enough, but he really was bothered by me not having a set system. Or that when i am cooking i just cannot clean as i go. So in the end i always cooked for him (or sometimes he for me), but we never cooked together because he got too stressed by my way. At the same time i cook with friends fine enough and afterwards i always clean up. So we just really werent compatible

@@madzg6481 I hear you, I'm just soooo frustrated cos he breadcrumbs me. Yesterday he spent 12 hrs - all day away from me, not even inviting me along. Comes home, doesn't talk to me, other than saying he's going to decompress in the lounge. Brings me cold fries, in a plate laden with chicken bones...like I'm some dog!!!! but he gets upset if I put down his food and the fork pokes the egg yolk. He doesn't want me to talk about any of my interests, or ours down anything I'm interested in. He'll tell me people wouldn't WANT to listen to my stuff, as if I should always be lesser, (like I'm a degenerate, hmm? Why would he tell me that people wouldn't be interested? Like I'm some fkn LOSER!) but when I do speak to those people (3 people known to him) they're the first to bring up those topics, and he's SURPRISED as if they're supposed to dislike me talking. It makes me wonder why the hell he's with me ...am I the cook, the cleaner...that's it! Even times when I want to get close,few times he rolled his eyes saying, "Oh GOD!" So, me wanting to be close/ intimate is a burden???? So now I don't feel I want to anymore. Everything only seems to be on his terms...and HE CANNOT, HE REFUSES TO SEE IT. I don't even want to point it out anymore...cis no matter how nicely I talk, he says I'm looking for an argument! I'm beginning to think the only person he really cares about us himself...he doesn't care about a relationship; Im thinking he just wants someone to be there for him.... Imagine someone hardly taking your needs into account. Imagine you love them so much, but they DON'T WANT TO hear about your wants and needs. I'm not to share any positivity either.... I told him I need his emotional support...with a family matter--- his response: it's not his responsibility...yet his got debt, and says I should help him pay it... See the imbalance? Like I wait around for him all the time. Yet, he can't spare 5 minutes for me, and makes a big stink if he does....which makes me feel extremely anxious if we must go somewhere...and I sit there being sooo anxious...He's negative most of the time...it's causing me a lot of stress, and how can I enjoy myself OR BE MYSELF with him... I FEEL SO WEARY, cos I though he was a nice guy. I thought he would value me, respect me...but now I'm seeing it's only one-sided. Is it the ADHD, or just him? It really breaks my heart...in soooo many pieces..cos I do love him, and I wish for things to be better...but more and more I'm asking myself what happiness is here for me. It's all about HIM. And he just doesn't see it! It's like he's totally incapable of seeing it. It's like he cannot see what it's doing to me....I'm feeling so unloved, and him just saying "I love you" doesn't cut it. It needs to show in his behaviour....says he's trying but doesn't want to talk about things. How to change things if he doesn't want to hear anything? AND IM GETTING SO TIRED OF IT! Feeling emotionally drained....got heart palpitations almost every day now ... So not fair.... People telling me I should walk away, but I've never been a serial dater...we date to have / be with that 1 person, and work through things, but if they're not keen, and you must just shut up...that's abuse, isn't it?

How to differentiate between the character of your ADHD partner and the ADHD itself? He is very special to me, but I'm finding it really challenging, as feeling a bit overwhelmed/ overshadowed by his likes, wants and needs in this relationship. I'm trying my best to be understanding, accommodating, considerate, thoughtful, constantly reminding him how loved he is and that we're in this together. He might express "I love you's" but further than lip service I feel like I'm putting in sooooo much more than I'm getting out, and that his wanting me is more about the things I do for him and how I'm there FOR him, than his actual interest in me. I do understand that theyre hyperfocused on interests, but I don't see any focus on me. That coupled with so much negativity-- and I'm an extremely be positive person-- like looking for negatives and sabotaging happy moments, with sudden mood changes which include saying judgey or hurtful things, or being on the defensive, when it's SO not necessary, and my calm reassurance that it's not what his mind is telling him (a fight) turns into one, with a lot of negatives and blame at me, for things I didn't do, say, or even think of. Yeah, we do have our great moments, but they're often short-lived as negatives take over...I'm supposed to keep quiet/ overlook them all the time. I ask myself what am I getting out of this? I am aware that there are often other things accompanying ADHD, so I try to remind myself not to attribute much of these things to him-- I know it's a huge struggle for him, and I'm willing to go the extra mile for "US", but at which point does one say okay, the ADHD person is also to work on accountability and taking responsibility (to learn new ways of being, and also to get help)? How can I better be a support for him, as I know it's a scary place for him to be? How can I be that safe place for him, reminding him of his promises for us to work on things, without overstimulating him that it turns ugly? Again, I'm willing to walk this path with him...but he needs to make the effort, too, to allow me in, to allow himself to get the help required. For me, having to walk on eggshells, to keep quiet and only keeping him happy (only talking about, watching/ listening to his interests) is not my idea of a fulfilling relationship, BUT I'm willing to explore this and see what's the strength I can gain from it (within myself to love without condition). So, coming back to my question: How to differentiate between the character of your ADHD partner and the ADHD itself? That too, to build a fulfilling relationship ...right now, trying to take 1 day at a time and practise mindfulness, but phew, it's like being between a rock and a hard place cos I do love him, and I also do love myself ( I'm not in this blindly) but I want us to beat the odds together. Note: we are not in our teens, but both educated adults over 30. Tips/ advice welcome.

@@janmoon1100 Thank you for reply and your prayers. Will keep you in mine, too, for your relationship health to thrive. Regarding yr advice: Being expressive and honest (with him) is in my nature, and I express my love and support to him all the time, but toooo often to his annoyance. At times, my trying to be close, or support/ show affection... is met with an "Oh God!" a roll of the eyes and a sigh, which makes me feel like I'm being burdensome and it makes me feel so damn unwanted...that lately I find I don't even "want" to share things with him that I find important or interesting because I feel (and he often mentions) that if it doesn't interest him, he's not interested, period. This is sooo damning on a relationship, and I have to self regulate so much that my heart doesn't break! I also want his love, interest and support. (Should he read this he'd not focus on my feeling but say something like: "Are you trying to say I don't support you?" And turn it into an argument, as opposed to saying what can I do different that will make you feel more loved and supported." I feel that as partners, we gotta be there for each other- that's only natural, but getting positivity from me ...seems like he thinks I'm a know it all (which he already mentioned) and trying to teach him, which he also said he's not interested in. So...what is it about me ...that interests him? Is it just the convenience of having somebody there? Even in previous conversations where I tried to address certain issues that make me feel less than/ unwanted, my intention was to make it clear that I'm in no way judging him/ making him wrong...that I was just wanting my needs met (as I do meet his) and that we are to address things "together", he's response is that he can't show me affection cos he's not a woman. I read and listen to positive things-- he does the opposite. I feel I'm being bombarded with negativity ALL DAY. cos we mainly do things that interests him. So I rather go to the room and occupy myself with more positive things. The way I try to support him is through positivity- he's barely interested. Says "positive people think they know it all". His defences are up almost all the time, and I'm aware that he's had a lot of trauma, as well. I'm not trying to say I'm all goodie nor am I trying to be a martyr and save him, but I want him to trust me enough (which is what a healthy relationship is to have) in order to believe what I say to him, and what I do, so that he can relax and WE can have a relationship that is NOT ONE-SIDED. As far as this goes, he cannot even see what this negative behaviour is doing to me/ to us, and as far as I can see- he doesn't WANT to; cos as I said he says if something doesn't interest him, he's not interested. So relationship is then meant to only serve him? So, bottom line: he's very likely just NOT interested in me, at all. If he can listen to me when I speak about something IM excited about, and speak without yelling, or always wanting to be right, or try bringing if that focus onto me also sometimes...and we can both be calm, and have conversations...then maybe I'll feel otherwise. I really long for us to have a strong bond of a relationship where we BOTH feel loved and supported. I know it takes patience, that why I've shared here. I'm willing. However, he needs to understand that he needs to put conscious effort into a relationship. Few weeks ago I broke up with him cos he said he doesn't want to change...nor does he want my input. I already keep quiet more that I'd like to in a relationship. He's not in this relationship ALONE. If one day I leave again, which I don't want to, but... it will be because of his inconsideration of the other in the equation...because of my exhaustion, and my also getting no support / cooperation from him...in making us work and work through all the ups and downs. I really wish he'd have the courage to take my hand and trust that I'm not there to judge, I'm there to love

My spouse shows some of the markers as well, but not as many, at least to my mind, as I do, though I could just be caught up so much in my own symptoms to have noticed additional markers over our 25 years of marriage (much of that distant, but still faithful).

I struggle alot with my ADHD partner. Growing up with issues with neglect and unpredictable emotions in my parents, I get quite upset with my partner when he doesn't live up to the expectations I put on him. It's hard to understand why sometimes he can't do simple things to make me feel better, but I'm trying to understand it more. He's very self aware, but almost never in the moment, which makes out arguments that much more frustrating because every question I ask like "why can't you" "what's stopping you" "that doesn't make sense.." is met with and "idk". I'm trying to understand him more by learning about adhd in men, and to subvert my expectations and emotional needs across multiple people instead of it all on him, because he doesn't deserve all that weight on his shoulders, and I don't deserve to feel un-cared for.

They can’t. Us with ADHD have hyper-empathy, hyper-accountability, and are too overwhelmed by the possible consequences of everything. And narcissists hurt and dismiss people on purpose in order to feel pleasure from having the power to cause pain, humiliation, and deprivation, they can’t regulate their emotions or feel good without it being through making someone feel like shit. And they are incapable of feeling remorse or be accountable, while us with ADHD have MORE accountability than most and it hurts us like hell when our disability causes us to let someone down despite our best efforts. We are the polar opposite of narcissists, and all other cluster bs.

@LeVi no, not at all. That’s actually EXTREMELY triggering and insulting to me as a survivor of narcissistic abuse who has the neurodivergence of ADHD, specifically the innatentive type. We are the polar opposite of narcissists! You have no idea what you are talking about. Don’t walk around spreading ableist lies like that, you have no idea how hurtful that is to us. And 50% of those with an ADHD diagnosis are simple misdiagnosed and actually have CPTSD or just brain fog, NOT the neurodivergence of ADHD. And us with ADHD actually have MORE sipindle neurons = empathy than neurotypicals, and definitely exponentially more than narcissists as well. We are NOT sadistic and vengeful emotional and psychological abusers of the worst kind like narcissists are. So again, please don’t talk about things that you don’t know. Furthermore, do you know what the neurodivergence of ADHD actually is? In all 3 of its types a hyperactive mind that can’t ever stop thinking regardless of the mood that it’s in that gets louder the more quiet the room is, and even creates stimuli inside of it when there isn’t enough, our emotions, senses, and empathy are heightened which gives us sensory and auditory processing disorders, we have time blindness, and very low spacial awareness so we bump into things a lot (it’s well beyond just being “clumsy”), and we always tend to over communicate and over explain and accommodate everyone and try to be as clear as possible in our communication about our intentions, and we care too much about everything. So how does ANY of that remind you of narcissists??? And narcissists hurt and dismiss people on purpose in order to feel pleasure from having the power to cause pain, humiliation, and deprivation, they can’t regulate their emotions or feel good without it being through making someone feel like shit. And they are incapable of feeling remorse or be accountable, while us with ADHD have MORE accountability than most and it hurts us like hell when our disability causes us to let someone down despite our best efforts. We are the polar opposite of narcissists, and all other cluster bs. ADHD is already a disability that most people either disbelieve the existence of or are severely misinformed about. So please don’t make enduring this burden any more difficult by making claims like that.

@LeVi anyone who “grows out of” or “has cured” their ADHD never had it in the first place, and 50% of those diagnosed with it say that later on, and they never had it’s actually symptoms to begin with! It was just conflated with brain fog and brain slowness - the polar opposite of a hyperactive brain. So why don’t you stop being so ableist and insulting and start describing things properly!! It’s not right to hurt people like me like that, especially because we DO NOT “APPEAR” like narcissists in any away!!! Everything they you have described is NOT ADHD at all. If all of the things that neurotypicals berate us for because we fall in the uncanny valley, appearing as NPDs is NOT one of them. I have no clue where you have gotten that from. Stop this extremely hurtful nonsense right now, and get off of YOUR high horse. And none of that was a “rant”, it was a carefully throughly out and heavily detailed response to your BS. And mirroring is something that autists do, not us. And any masking we do isn’t being manipulative it’s just trying to be normal in order to not freak people out! And it’s closer to grey rocking than anything else. Which is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to how narcissists mask their evil intentions and malicious nature with the outer facade and reputation of being a good and giving person. So you were literally wrong about everything. And WHY didn’t you care at all about how much you have hurt, triggered, and insulted all other neurodivergent survivors of narcissistic abuse like me? Why did you conveniently gloss over that? It sounds like YOU legitimately appear like a narcissist right now, not me or anyone like me. And I am exceptionally educated on the nuances of the neurodivergence of ADHD, so I am uniquely qualified to speak about it and defend it from being ignorantly equated to horrible things like this. Especially because narcissists love to prey on people like me. We are in enough danger and pain without those like you throwing baseless accusations like that at us.

@LeViI read very carefully, it is YOU who doesn’t. It’s very weird that you are saying that I hurt you when you repeatedly hurt and triggered me immensely and did not care at all. You insulted me further and completely dismissed the emotions that you’ve caused, just like a narcissist would. You are also saying that I “came at you” when I was just defended myself from YOUR attacks! I have fucking CPTSD and many chronic illnesses because of how I grew up being abused by narcissists and I still am because I haven’t been able to escape my abusers yet, and there is nothing more triggering for a survivor of narcissistic abuse than to be accused of being even remotely similar to our abusers. You claim to be capable of empathizing and sympathizing with people, and yet, you have exhibited ZERO empathy or sympathy in these interactions with me. And you twist words and conceits, victim blame, and pretend to be innocent and that you never provoked anyone, just like a narcissist as well. If you really were a neurodivergent like me you’d understand how hurtful your accusations are, and how you have no right to make horrendous, ableist, and abuse enabling claims like this. And NO, I literally did NOT agree with ANYTHING you’ve said at alland no one has ever accused us of being psychological and emotional abusers who are incapable of empathy, remorse, and accountability. So if you really aren’t a narcissist you’d exhibit some accountability and remorse, as they are byproducts of empathy and accountability, and you’d STOP these accusations.

@LeVi English must not be your first language, and you must not be educated on the cluster b and the abuse that they are capable of and enjoy doing at all. And you actually didn’t empathize with me at all because empathy = caring about other people’s feelings, and you have exhibited zero of that. I have a degree in the cluster b, I know more about narcissists than you ever will. So stop projecting YOUR narcissistic traits onto us, and stop projecting your refusal to see the truth onto me. Regardless of how hurt we are, we do NOT turn into narcissists, nor do we ever think in narcissistic ways = vengeful, violent, manipulative, sadistic, deceitful, and entitled, and needing to humiliate, hurt, and deceive others in order to feel good = the narcissistic supply that they can’t regulate their emotions without. I am the authority on what a narcissist is right now, not you. So please stop.

I am only now learning about ADHD and working on getting a proper diagnosis, however a lot of the symptoms resonate with me. To help me overcome rage and outbursts I would actually write it in a letter and give it to whomever I was upset, give them time to read it without it becoming a fight. I get some time to calm down and they get to hear my side and we return to it either after they finish the letter or the next day depending on how pissed off I am. I find it has helped a lot with our communication and with me being able to learn better management tools to control my emotions. A piece can't argue or interrupt like I would.

So basically my partner who has ADHD is not going to pay attention to me at all and is not gonna listen to me unless he tries to. And I just have to try my best not to take it personally when he choose is watching Seinfeld over me saying things need to get better or I need to leave. He's not gonna try, and it's impossible to have a relationship with someone with ADHD unless they try. None of my needs are being met, I'm sick of waiting .The only thing that's good about our relationship is the sex, and I don't like sex plus, I'm sure a toy would do better because the sex is always about how he feels anyway. He doesn't listen to when I'm talking to him about my needs, about important things in my life but he always pays attention when it's about something that he's interested in as if he's not interested in me at all. I'm sick of dealing with him not being able to care because he can't even make himself listen, and then he just throws himself at me sexually like a bandaid on a broken arm. Men are stupid when it comes to taking care of their own mental health, and I'm sick of paying for it. I'm gonna date a woman, one that doesn't have ADHD.

But it was perfectly fine for him to be on Facebook scrolling through his feeds and watching Netflix while being on the phone with me. You can't do anything to do them because you're the asshole but when they do it, you have to be understanding because their ADHD. He would tell me to communicate with him whenever I felt he was making me feel abandoned and everytime I would, its like they forget and he would just tell me "well I guess this isn't going to work out then". I'm glad I finally let go. They don't see how much the other person suffers, crying every day wondering if you even mean shit to them.

What this guy did to you, it was one sided and it was gas lighting, he made you feel like you were the problem when he was not putting in enough, he got upset when you did what he did in that isn't just having ADHD, what that is is verbally abusive behavior, straight up falls into that category.

Funny-- after reading a lot of the responses here-- I turned to him (having earphones on, watching something on the laptop) was simply going to ask him how much he's read up on ADHD himself. His response to me, closing his eyes for long -as if working himself up just by my mere talking/ expecting the worst...i think (cos it's very often like that), and he sighs saying "Rather ask me tomorrow." He is interested only in his own things, doesn't realise that's selfish or self-centred. So yes, seems ADHD people lack SOMEthing in their emotional way of relating to people close to them. I feel as if it's the ones close to them whom they seem to punish, throwing childlike tantrums, while the rest of us are required to give into their every whim to keep them happy (IF we want to stay with them). In my experience, they make up the rules of the relationship, you must abide, but the same rules do not apply to them, oh, no. Saw thing is, they CAN learn better ways of relating, but their willingness to overcome has to drive them. Yet, the longer they resist getting the assistance/ intervention required, the more of a disconnect they create between themselves and others, and eventually with the person who really loves them, this person actually walking away for his/her own sanity. Pity...big pity. I still believe that if they care about their own wellbeing as well as that of the person they claim to love, they should willingly get help, & in this way ALLOW themselves to have a great relationship, too. I really hope things turn out better and love wins. Courage to anyone reading this.

@@lisadev7563 I feel you. You apologise cos your ego doesn't matter to you more than your happiness. That's a good thing. Being happy is better than being right and, as a sign of emotional maturity, it shows that to you it doesn't matter who's right, but it's the principle of MAKING THINGS RIGHT between you that is important to you- it's commendable. With ADHD people, because of their impulsive nature, they don't get this logic because they jump way too quickly to negative conclusions, even if you have good intentions. So sad, hey, to have a nervous system set on fight-flight mode ALL THE TIME. I'm sure it must feel terrible for them. I'm sure if they only realise how very lucky they are to have someone who really loves them so much, that that person would stand by their side to help them face this demon. But it's very challenging for the partner who seen as to be at the receiving end of most of their punches- cos ANNNNYthing triggers them.

It's said don't take them personally, so I will focus more on me, that's how to do this, I think, or exhaust myself completely, feeling all their projected stuff. Nah, not my monkeys.
