How ADHD Affects Relationships

ADHD in Adults

By: Kristen Thrasher

Narrated by: John B. Jenkins

ADHD affects roughly four percent of adults, but the amount of relationships affected is much higher. The divorce rate is nearly twice as high in marriages when one or both partners have ADHD. In fact, research has shown that on average about 61 percent of marriages actually end in divorce when ADHD is involved.

ADHD symptoms add consistent and predictable problems to any marriage in which one or both partners have the condition. As long as their ADHD remains untreated, or undertreated, these patterns can leave both partners feeling lonely, unhappy, and ultimately overwhelmed by their relationship.

It is true that adults with ADHD can be hard to love, but once you understand the true burden they are carrying, your heart will open up with understanding. Love and compassion will ultimately take the place of frustration and resentment, and you will start to see into the good of their hearts.

How ADHD Affects Relationships is full of tips and strategies for both partners, the ADHD partner and the non-ADHD partner, to help manage the symptoms and to work together as a couple. The different chapters in this book are:

• Understanding ADHD in Adults
• The Role ADHD Plays in Relationships
• Tips for Increasing Your Understanding in Your Relationships
• Commonly Asked Questions About Being in a Relationship With Someone Who Has ADHD
• An Inside Look From Both Partner's Perspectives
• Challenges That Effect ADHD Relationships
• The Biggest Problem Areas Most Couples Face and How to Counteract These Issues
• 20 Things to Remember Before Dating Someone With ADHD

If your relationship with your ADHD partner is needing help, or if you yourself have ADHD and are having a hard time managing your relationship, then look no further - this is the perfect book for you! Scroll up, and click buy!

I felt like I was listening to every unsuccessful relationship I’ve ever had

I felt like the author has been watching all my relationships throughout my whole entire life, including my ex-wife’s relationship with me

Spot on!

Such a great book! Insightful. Definitely helps me to understand my boyfriend Bette and not take his actions personal.

If you’re looking for a ADHD women book this is probably not it

This book seems to represent more of the ADHD(male) to a normal (Female).

As a high functioning ADHD women nearly the entire book I am more represented by the ‘Non-ADHD’ partner. ADHD in men makes them child like. For us women it turns us into blunt Project Managers.

If you’re trying to learn how to understand your female ADHD-er this is probably not the book for you. I do believe it is probably pretty great for someone looking to better understand their ADHD male.

Emotional regulation

This book is ridiculous. The entire thing could have been summed up in 2-3 chapters. It’s the exact same steps and descriptions on repeat. It’s the most basic of ADHD descriptions with steps to live with it as a couple, in one huge 8 chapter loop. Waste of an audible credit.
