It is very necessary for a woman to lie, it is a good weapon. But there are three people, madame, to whom a woman should speak the truth. To her Father Confessor, to her hairdresser and to her private detective—if she trusts him.

“Couple #1—ADHD partner: I fully acknowledge that I do NOT want to argue with my wife anymore. However, when discussing something with my spouse, I still sometimes have an overwhelming sense of being attacked, of being bossed around, and of being talked down to, and these feelings are greatly increased if this happens in front of the kids. What can I do to help ease these feelings so that I don’t act out impulsively and hurtfully towards my wife? I don’t want to do this, but it is very hard to control these emotions.”

“For those of you with ADHD, please hear what we are saying. Your tolerance for pain and failure—the ability to “go with the flow”—is most likely a coping strategy for dealing with the inconsistencies that your ADHD has created. It is time for a new coping strategy. The old one—creating a high pain threshold and going along—has not served you as well as you have convinced yourself. It is part of the reason that your relationship is in trouble. That pain threshold does not align with your partner’s needs. A better relationship strategy is to face the ADHD symptoms head on and treat them, using every resource science suggests will work.”
