When someone with ADHD forgets an anniversary, interrupts a conversation, or fails to follow through on a promise, their partner may interpret the behavior as evidence that they don't care. Yet the psychological mechanisms behind these behaviors can be considerably more complicated than a lack of affection. This episode explores how ADHD affects attention, working memory, emotional regulation, and romantic attachment, and why couples sometimes become trapped in cycles of criticism, defensiveness, and resentment. We also examine why understanding ADHD can improve relationships without allowing the diagnosis to become an excuse for hurtful behavior.e Ed
