I guess i am coming from the nagging wife angle. My husband suffers from ADD. i don't mean to nag at him but i do. I am trying to figure out different more constructive ways to express how i feel. I also know it is not my place to “remind” of anything or get him up in the morning or get his medication. I never say “get it together” or “god, you and your ADD” and i don't even think that. I usually truly want to help him out cause i love him a ton and hope he would do the same for me.

So i am gotten used to the idea that I will always have to help him out but i don't know how to communicate with him my needs. I have problems listening to him because the medication he takes makes him very mellow. So i think he is not serious about telling me what he wants and i continue to tell him or nag at him about what i want. We get into a fight and it is so lame. Our communication was not like this until after he started taking the medication.
