Thank you for the link to this discussion, kewpie. In many ways, it concerns me as to "what lies ahead" for my ADHD son and his girlfriend.
As discouraging as the statements made by the original poster and some of the subsequent commenters are, I think there's also truth in what several others pointed out: most participants in support groups are trying to deal with problems in their lives. One is far less likely to see posts made by spouses on an ADD forum when things are going along okay. And with or without ADHD, the reality is that many marriages experience difficulties. I hope that the more research is done in the field of mental health, the better the outcomes will be for everyone.

Healthy,
I worry about the same things for my sons.
My oldest son has a friend who got married almost 2 years ago. In the back of my mind, I wonder how long will it take for his wife to get fed up. He a nice kid and good looking. However she is going to school and doing most of the housework. They met on an on-line gaming site. He was supposed to be going to school too but for some reason it hasn't happened and they are on some sort of public assistance. My guess is if he doesn't start becoming more pro-active and she starts making serious money after graduating, their time together will be limited. My son goes up to visit them in the summer and he sees her doing all the work and his bud not doing much of anything.
