My interviews with ADD and non-ADD partners in ADD Relationships have been very enlightening. One recent interview was conducted with Shannon, a non-ADD partner. Shannon and her husband have been married for twelve years and have two young children.

For Shannon, her ADD relationship has come with ups & downs but overall she has found a level of peace and happiness with her ADD relationship.

There is help for ADD Relationships. Shannon shared the following lessons that have evolved during her twelve year ADD Relationship:

• There has been a good deal of ‘trial & error’ but it’s important to ‘try without attachment’. That means if it works, it works. If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work and don’t get attached to it working.
• I’ve learned to not expect ‘perfection’. He may not do it the way I would do it but I’ve learned to appreciate his efforts.
• I used to nag but soon learned that nagging doesn’t work. It’s too much like parenting. It doesn’t work for me and it doesn’t work for him.
• I found different ways to communicate without nagging. I now write notes or leave a message on his cell phone with reminders.
• I realized that it was not his conscious choice to NOT DO something or to not follow through with an agreement.

The month of February has become synonymous with Valentines. Yes, February is the season of Cupid, the month of love and a month that invites us to give focus to our love relationships. ADD relationships can be fun, loving, exciting and they can be very challenging.

I have been conducting research by interviewing individuals and couples who volunteered to discuss their personal experiences in ADD relationships. I have interviewed a few non-ADD partners currently in ADD relationships. I am also scheduled to interview a few ADD partners in relationship. 

During the month of February, I will be sharing information gleaned from these interviews. Stay tuned for more on ADD relationships…

Life can be a challenge if you’re a non-ADD adult living in relationship with an ADD adult partner.

I recently coached a non-ADD adult regarding some of her specific issues living with her ADD adult partner. My client voiced concern that is easily the most common complaint I hear from non-ADD relationship partners. “I feel like he needs me to tell him what to do all the time. I have to guide him and direct him. I resent that I married my husband to have an equal partner but now I feel like I’ve got another child to take care of.”

Adults with ADD tend to lack the inherent nature of structure and routine. Consequently, adults with ADD often function best when there is some source of ‘external structure’ in their life, ie work and school. However, non-ADD relationship partners also provide a great deal of structure and anchoring for the adult with ADD. Without this anchor, the ADD partner may have a greater tendency to meander during projects, chores, and possibly with life in general. Thus, it may appear that the ADD partner is depending on you or that he/she won’t do certain things without your comments or reminders.

Coaching Tips for Non-ADD Relationship Partners:

• Communicate, communicate, communicate.
• Be honest, firm and gentle with your communication.
• Clearly communicate your preferences and expectations of your ADD partner.
• Clearly communicate your disappointment when there are breakdowns in agreements.
• Take time to acknowledge the strengths, assets and gifts of your ADD partner. Acknowledge these gifts to your ADD partner.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Consider marriage/couple therapy with a therapist who is dual trained in couple therapy AND who has a thorough understanding and skills working with adults with ADD.
• Do not take your ADD partner’s challenges and breakdowns personally.
• Do have ‘realistic’ expectations of your ADD partner.
• Do not expect perfection from your ADD partner.
