out there, but ours is the only one I’ve seen in real life. It makes sense for one person with ADHD to marry another — like attracts like. Most importantly for Bear and me, we didn’t have to hide ourselves. The traits that other people see as lazy or slovenly, we took as one more way we were alike. I remember realizing that Bear is a packrat, and feeling, rather than chagrin, a deep sense of relief. He wouldn’t judge me, then, for my messy house. Bear drew me comics during class.
Just as our dating worked, there are a lot of other things that make our ADHD marriage function. It sounds like the potential for disaster: Two people with ADHD who became parents of three children, two of whom have — wait for it — ADHD. But we’ve come up with some coping strategies that make things flow more smoothly.You’re most likely to lose these two items, and their loss is most likely to induce sheer panic. We have a series of hooks next to the door.
In some ways, two adults with ADHD are a match made in heaven. In other ways, they need to do some hard work, different from neurotypical couples, to keep their marriage, house, and family running smoothly. I’m grateful my husband doesn’t ridicule my scatterbrain tendencies. He’s grateful I don’t harass him for leaving the dishes undone. It’s not for everyone, this ADHD marriage. But it works for us.
