The best thing to do, as the person who does not have ADHD, is to realize that you have strengths that the other person lacks. You are better at some things, naturally, than they are. This is not a bad thing. All people are different. You just need to know how to use your strengths. Take the time to write everything on the calendar. Put notes around the house when you want to make sure that something gets done. If you think he is going to forget, do not be afraid to call and remind him. With a little extra effort, you can balance things out and reduce the stress in your relationship.

The relationships that last are the ones in which both parties are committed to making them last. You need to put in the work and the effort, not just expecting everything to work out on its own. This positive action can really change the way that the two of you relate. He will appreciate it, and you can be sure that he will show it by doing things to help you out as well.
If you do all of this, your relationship will really grow and evolve. It could become stronger than it ever would have been if you had both entered it without ADHD. Your compassionate assistance is going to endear you to your boyfriend or your husband. He will be very grateful that you helped him out when he needed it, and he will love you all the more for it. Try out some of these things as soon as you can if you want to see positive changes.
