I have it the other way around, married to a beautiful, loving woman with ADHD. Didnt realize it at first (love is truly blind), but adapted to it just fine over time. I lean towards OCD, so I put the tops on the bottles, close the kitchen cabinets, pick up the mess when its gets to a critical mass, etc. She however keeps things lively, spontaneous, and unpredictable...and for me, this is a good thing. Make your differences work and dont be resentful for something your man cant help (as long as he accepts it...which many men wont.)

I am new to this forum and joined because I am married to a man with ADHD and also a mother of an adult child with ADHD. I wanted to see how people cope with the challenges that go along with that!

I'm not married...yet, but will be soon. My fiance has ADHD and I'm currently doing some research (reading ADHD for Dummies right now). Does anyone have any recommendations as far as helping him to become more organized, getting ourselves into a routine?
I figured if we maybe set up a list of chores/groceries/appointments/class schedules/etc. that it might possibly help keep him organzied and tidy. Any other suggestions would be AWESOME!
