We who have ADHD rarely talk about our partners without ADHD.

When it comes to relationships and ADHD some patterns emerge.

One common issue occurs when the partner without ADHD doesn't understand what the diagnosis means and cannot offer any level of feedback or support. Or they feel overwhelmed by the needs of the ADHD partner, and feel useless and unable to help.

Alternatively, the non-ADHD partner does not want to understand or feels that any mental health diagnosis is shameful.Within my community, I've been told that many non-ADHD partners actually refuse to attend counseling or acknowledge the diagnosis at all.

My husband is very partnership oriented, and has always been curious and willing to learn.

So many people have asked me about the Hubs and how we keep our relationship strong.

The truth is much simpler (read: not easier) than you might think.So I gathered questions from some of my community members, and some followers on social media. Then the Hubs sat down with me in my uber professional recording booth in the spare bedroom and answered them.

Some of his answers surprised even me. And he has offered to come back again as needed to discuss "mixed" relationships in the future.

In this episode you will hear:

- How we met

- How he he discovered I had ADHD

-The most annoying parts of living with me

- His thoughts on gender roles in modern marriage/relationships

- Why seeking mental health treatment should not be shameful

- Our collective feelings about couples counseling

- Things he likes best about me
