256. 10 Ways to Be a Good Partner (Even When You Have ADHD)


Listen Later

I’ve been married to Greg Carder for almost 20 years years. This man is the only one for me! But when I tell you we couldn’t be more different...

He's calm, steady, and methodical, and he doesn't mind mundane tasks like laundry. I mean, COME ON!

Through a lot of trial and error combined with years of ADHD research on my end, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to be a good partner. More specifically — how to be a good partner to someone who’s neurotypical when you have ADHD.

I’ve coached a lot of FOCUSED members on their relationships, and I see the same struggle: Either they’re not taking their ADHD seriously and getting treated or their partner isn’t taking it seriously and is dismissing their needs. Both ways create major issues in any ADHD relationship.

Hear me when I say that to be a good partner, you have to get treated for your ADHD. You need to take responsibility for your mental health condition. This part isn't optional.

Because if you’re not taking your diagnosis seriously, you can’t expect your partner to either.

In this episode of the I Have ADHD Podcast, we’re taking a deep dive into how to be a good partner when you have ADHD. I’m breaking this down into 10 simple steps that you can analyze and apply to your relationship.

These steps work for marriages, friendships, family, and business relationships. This episode has something for everyone who’s in a relationship. Period.
