I was asked why the commonly-used expression ‘reward-focused’ brain doesn't accurately describe the ADHD experience. For those trying to understand what those w/ ADHD go through & the unconscious implications of language, this is a worthwhile read.

Sometimes real love dies even when both partners are trying really hard. Maybe no one screwed up. I’ve seen couples: grow apart; unable to manage stresses of being parents; crippled by financial stress; give in to family of origin pressure; succumb to ADHD symptoms & responses.

That someone is ‘perfect’ just by being themselves is a myth.
It assumes a ‘happily ever after’ just by being together.
That’s just not how healthy, joyous relationships work.

As I see it, when you are wronged you have a choice to make – to experience your pain and decide what to do with it in a good way, or to hold the pain dear and turn it into a grudge.

"For me, I'm on my own path right now and everyone's trying to get me to do something different. Trying to get me to go other places and do other things. In my heart of hearts, that's NOT what's it's telling me to do. "

ADHD brain chemicals need a "fix"?
"Natural leveling of brain chemicals from interest, urgency or positivity isn't a reward exclusively for people w/ ADHD.
Retiring w/ healthy savings that are the result of careful planning is a reward, too, but nobody calls frugality a reward."

Rebalancing power in ADHD relationships: Get rid of parent / child-like behaviors.
‘Parents’: learn to stop ‘pushing’ & ‘dictating’
‘Child-like’ ADHD partners: be reliable enough in the relationship.
Now negotiate – on equal terms – the give & take of a genuine partnership.

Small indications of caring really add up.
It’s how you repair and get onto a road of wondering – just wondering – if you couldn’t go even ‘bigger and better’.
Could you start dreaming together again?
