Today, I told my husband that I think he has ADHD. He was offended and began to argue, then he got distracted by a dog outside. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, while I was making dinner, my husband argued that our new dog has intelligence issues, and we should give him away. I angrily defended the poor thing, and had almost won, until the dog walked over and licked the inside of the hot oven door. FML
Today, our daughter brought home a stray dog without permission. When my husband came home we took it to a shelter, who sent us to another shelter half an hour out of our way. Then their ADHD asses both wanted coffee at 6pm. By the time we got home, my dinner, and only my dinner, was ruined. FML
Today, it became apparent that my new boyfriend has the mental process where unless you give him specific instructions, he can’t do anything right. Such as when asking him to let the dog out, it won’t occur to him to let the dog back in until I get home. By then the dog had destroyed the garden out of boredom. FML
Today, I sat my husband down for a talk for him to stop going to his female coworker’s house until 1-2am. He insists they’re doing work projects. He became so offended that I thought otherwise that he thrashed the entire living room, stomped out of the house, and slammed the door, completely dislodging it. FML
Today, my husband of 5 months admitted he is jealous of my dog. I've had the dog for 16 years. He admits to wanting to drop it off at the shelter while I'm at work. FML
Today, my husband was working from home, so I asked him to clean the living room and basement. He started yelling about how he needs to focus and that I can't be "constantly distracting him." Sorry for expecting you to care for the space you live in, dick. FML
Today, my ADHD has gotten so bad that I called my son by my brother’s name, bumped heads with my 2 year-old, and just now went to sit back down on the couch next to husband and accidentally elbowed him in the eye so badly that he went to sleep because he was so angry with me. Praying he doesn’t have a black eye tomorrow.. FML
Today, my drunk dad started yelling at my dog for not having a job. FML
Today, my overthinking and ADHD combo got so ridiculous that I found myself worrying about how my cat was going to be after he returned from the vet. Not if he was going to be okay or not, how he was going to behave. FML
Today, my father started nagging me about my husband's mental health. He doesn't understand why my husband can't just walk it off. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

And you now just noticed this?

Wait til he inevitably calms down and try again, maybe talk more about the symptoms than the actual "ADHD" label, which can be big and kinda daunting, and voice your concerns rather than critiquing him. See if there's anything you both would want to try, whether that's a doctor's visit or post-it notes or setting phone alarms for important things). Good luck!

That could be ADD

That would be ADD not ADHD, ADHD comes with hyperactive bursts simultaneously, so he probably would have run outside to the dog rather than just be captivated by it

I was told that both exist under the same label now, so despite being the exact opposite of hyperactive, I was diagnosed with ADHD.

42 you can have adhd with lowhyperactivity.

My brother has ADHD and he's simply..distracted easily. Perhaps when he was younger he might've done that, but he's grown up with it and can control it mostly so it doesn't affect him that much. He still will switch topics randomly, though. Point is, if you grow up with it you're probably going to learn to at least control it somewhat.

Was the dog in a canoe waiting for the Coast Guard?

Tell him to join the ADHD Facebook group. Once he talks to enough of us he'll realize the similarities.

ADHD, stands for Attention Defecit Hyperactive Disorder, ADD is the same without the hyperactive part, it sounds more like ADD which is what I have
