[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 387716, member: 1233"] Well, one of the nice things about having someone with adhd around is if they get mad it is only a little while until they get distracted by something. I have a friend who's husband was clearly undx'd adhd. If they got into an argument and he was being ridiculous (like fighting with her over why his dog ate his shoes when HE is the one who insisted on being the only one to train it, or why she wore a red shirt when he thought she was wearing a pink one or whatever idiotic thing), she just took her shirt off. One glimpse of her assets and he was no longer angry. He didn't always get what he then wanted, but he stopped arguing. I had an older relative who developed a very short attention span and memory issues as he developed alzheimers. His wife and my parents had a really hard time getting him to do things he needed to. I didn't. I just patiently reminded him that it was HIS idea to go do whatever and he went along very nicely. While it generally isn't nice to lie, when it is that or a fight with someone who truly is incapable of reasoning, well, it made life a whole lot safer for him AND for his much tinier wife. Otherwise it was like having a very angry 2yo who was 6'3" and STRONG. I am not saying to lie to your husband, but you can use distraction to your advantage when it is in the best interest of the family. Has he had a complete checkup recently? My husband had some of the same symptoms a few years ago and we learned that his testosterone was quite low. It was easy to get an rx to replace it and it made a HUGE difference. AFter a couple of years his body began to make more so he didn't need the rx, so it isn't something that will always need to be supplemented neccessarily. [/QUOTE]
