...See more I’m reaching out because I’ve been facing some challenges with my husband, who has ADHD. I’ve been supporting him as best as I can, leaving notes, taking care of him when I can, but I feel like I’m walking on eggshells with him. I’m constantly prioritizing his needs, and in the process, my own desires in the relationship are being put on the backburner. I’m also feeling burned out with everything going on, work and school, and I’m struggling to find a balance between supporting him and taking care of myself. I want to support him, but I also need to make sure I’m not burning myself out. Does anyone have advice on managing relationships with a partner who has ADHD, especially when there have been past issues like blow-ups and when you’re feeling like you’re walking on eggshells? How do you handle overwhelm and create healthy boundaries? Also, for those of you who have ADHD, do you still love your partners through the tough moments, or does it die down? How do you keep that love strong while navigating the challenges ADHD brings to the relationship? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for your support!
