I am new to ADD and how my mind works. I have had it all my life. I got diagnised with it less than a year ago. I finally found a medication this week that works for me. Thats when I started looking for people like me. I have been married for 13 years. We have always done everything together. She does not have ADD. She is the most oppisite you can find. With out her I probably would be lost and broke. I own a small constrution company. I am real young to own my own business. But I grew up in it. She knows nothing about it,but makes me get things done. I work hard on the job, but the last few years my paperwork sucks. She has always been there to help me figure it out. (papers in different files and alot more) She does my billing and and pays the bills, But bidding jobs is mine.

She is a office manager in a very profitable business. She takes care of her office along with 7 other stores, ordering, sending out bills, paying bills, collecting past due bills, and has to make sure all the stores still get product.
She has enough to do. Right before I got help, I could not finish a single bid without it taking me to weeks after work.

What I am looking for is other spouses to reply, She says I need to spend time on these sights. Because she says it is doing me good. But I want her to be here with me.

there is a section on this forum for non-ADD partners and a private section for them as well. She would just need to register her own account. Hope you both get what you need here.

New, as Eyeforgot said, there is a section for Non ADD partners, but she would certainly be welcome amongst the rest of us :)

Do this: print this post. Read it to her. Ask her to come read the forums with you, even if she doesn't want to sign up for her own account. Share stuff you find here with her.

What it sounds like to me is that you married a great lady and you're looking for a way to share more of yourself with her. That's good. We generally don't bite, if she wants to sign up for her own account. :-)

exeter, everyone needs a separate account.

We will make every effort to welcome your spouse. I'd hope to see you both posting here and finding answers to life's questions.

I'm still working on my wife to participate but it's a lost cause I think. I'm benefitting and I'll have to be happy with that! eheh.
Cheers! Ian
