About this listen
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!

Helpful, slightly depressing and uplifting at the same time…
My partner and I listened to this separately and together. We paused the book and talked things out after each point that affects us came up.
Having someone finally at least try to understand my brain was overwhelming for both good and bad reasons.
How can I expect everyone I know that I consider close to me (who is not neurodivergent) to spend the time and or do the research to help them better understand?
It’s upsetting to know they might (or have) flat out refuse. Everyone has they’re own issues and things they need to focus on and deal with on a regular basis, I know this because that perceptive part of my brain can and always tries to see both sides of a story, especially when after the fact (which isn’t helpful unless the other person can do that too…) - tangent over.
The book is helpful, read all the way through, do it without judgement and it when in a negative mindset or when one or both of you are struggling with your emotions and or ‘symptoms’ - I like/try to use the word ‘features’ instead… seems less doom and gloom…
ADHD is and will always be a challenge not just in relationships but in your own reality.
Learn to forgive yourself so you can attempt to manage your own features and then your relationships, without fear and defeatism…
Let those who love you, love you. Don’t dwell on the features you struggle with. You’ll only make it harder for them and yourself. Talk about it. Own it. Work on it. And most of all, spend the time to love yourself ♥️
