Having been a SlashDot addict for many years, I expect that many of us here have various forms of ADHD or ADD. You may find that ADHD has interesting impacts on the dynamics of a marriage, most of which are not good. One of the prime challenges arises when the ADHD partner "hyperfocuses" on the non-ADHD spouse during courtship. This is similar to the "hyperfocus" we all have for the "new" game we just bought. In ADHD relationships, that "hyperfocus" usually disappears, right at the start of the actual marriage. The non-ADHD spouse then feels abandoned and betrayed, while the ADHD spouse remains clueless to the challenges faced by his/her partner, and the communications breakdown is exacerbated by some of the other ADHD symptoms. If you want examples of some of the horror stories (and the surprising similarities in many of these challenging relationships), and some great tips for avoiding or recovering from a disastrous relationship, go see the forum section of the adhdmarriage.com http://www.adhdmarriage.com/ website. This affect is so significant and real, that it made it to the Dr. Phil show not too long ago http://www.drphil.com/shows/show/1292/?preview=&versionID=).
