Challenges of Managing ADHD in Relationships with Partners Having ADHD

Managing ADHD within a relationship where both partners have ADHD can lead to the amplification of symptoms and a struggle to follow routines and tools. When partners with ADHD are together, their impulsive and spontaneous behaviors can hinder their individual progress. The lack of reality checks in such relationships can spiral into anxiety and disorganization when routine tools are not utilized. To address this, partners can work on keeping each other accountable while maintaining acceptance of each other's ADHD manifestations.
