Do the symptoms of ADHD strain your relationship? If you have ADHD, does your partner complain about the lack of attention or your inability to follow through on a task? Have you forgotten important events, creating friction? If so, you aren’t alone.

Even so, the characteristics of ADHD have always been there and create tension in your love life.

To help you find answers, I went to the experts and asked how ADHD impacts relationships and what they would offer as suggestions to help.
