About this listen

An invaluable resource for couples in which one of the partners suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), this authoritative book guides troubled marriages toward an understanding of and appreciation for the struggles and triumphs of a relationship affected by it and to look at the disorder in a more positive and less disruptive way. Going beyond traditional marriage counseling, this discussion offers advice from the author's personal experience and years of research and identifies patterns of behavior that can hurt marriages - such as nagging, intimacy problems, sudden anger, and memory issues - through the use of vignettes and descriptions of actual couples and their ADHD struggles and solutions. This resource encourages both spouses to become active partners in improving their relationship and healing the fissures that ADHD can cause.

Finally a book that describes what is going on in my relationship. I would say that 80% of the info here applies to my marriage. I’m the ADHD person and it’s difficult to live with this. Thank you!

Finally - I don’t feel so alone anymore

My husband made his ADD discovery on the Ologies Podcast, I listened thinking it sounds similar, when i heard this book as a recommended read. I jumped in and WOW!!!!!
Gamechanger! I suggested to my partner who was already open to learning more and he couldn't believe what he was hearing. It was a great way to open up the communication to the effects on our relationship. The book described so much of what I was feeling but was challenged in articulating without eliciting a negative reaction. Knowing he loved me, but so many contradictions it was beyond confusing. We are now both understanding each other and loving each other more. Grateful for the audible version, helped expedite the process.

MUST READ!!

This booked saved our relationship now Hubby understands my quirks of I don’t loose keys on purpose but I also need to take accountability for my actions and not blame my Adhd for me forgetting or not doing anything, my google calender and structured app are my favourite things now! Must read!

Purchased the audio book after watching a webinar by the author. It was like being in The Truman Show. The problems in my relationship were so accurate that it was weird. I knew I had some sort of hyper attention but didn't realize it was a disorder. I have set up a meeting with a psychologist and will see if in am diagnosed with ADHD. After reading this book, I would be surprised if I wasn't. Trying to encompass many of the tips and tricks in my relationship. Will see how it goes.

informative and helpful.
