Name
What I Learned from Having Lunch with Your Wife
Description
What lessons would a married man with ADHD learn from spending an hour a week facilitating discussion among a group of non-ADHD partners? Over a period of 7 years? With anywhere from 8-30 people in the room? Plenty!
If you have ADHD, come and learn how we look to the people who live with us. Do you think of yourself as selfish? Narcissistic? A habitual liar? As fascinating and creative? As someone who's "trying so hard but not quite making it?" They do.
If you are the non-ADHD partner, are you aware that we don't wake up in the morning and ask ourselves "how can I mess up her day?" Or that we will almost definitely beat ourselves up for our mistakes more often and more effectively than you ever could?
Some of the topic areas we'll talk about: living with the ups and downs, the challenge of apologies and rebuilding, what is just "being married" versus "your ADHD is acting up", 'parent/child' language (hint: it isn’t good for your sex life), and "do I have to lower my expectations? Again?!"
