When Your Relationship Has ADHD

· 34 min

Show notes

I don't think ADHD belongs to one person in a relationship. I think the relationship has ADHD.
This week I'm unpacking what happens when ADHD (diagnosed early, diagnosed late, or still unnamed) shows up in a partnership, and why it affects both people, not just the one who has it. I talk about the emotional weight that comes with a late diagnosis, why rejection sensitive dysphoria is so common, and how understanding your unbearable feeling changes everything.
I also share the practical stuff. Why I statements can backfire, how body doubling works, using AI to depersonalise decisions, fighting time blindness with routine, and giving yourself permission to outsource without shame.
If ADHD is part of your relationship, I hope this gives you language, a bit of relief, and somewhere to start.
