Okay, here's the deal!! I'm 24 and my bf is 25. I've been dating him for the past 5 yrs despite the fact that he has Attention Deficit Disorder. We've been friends since childhood and I enjoy being about 75% of the time but sometimes it gets really annoying when he can't keep up in conversations, when I have to repeat myself 10 TIMES, when he does/says quirky things, and when I have to do most of the planning b/c he has a hard time being CONSISTENTLY dependable. I am a very understanding and patient person but sometimes I wonder if I am being TOO patient, especially given my age and the fact that I can easily get another guy if I wanted to. Sometimes I feel like, no matter how much I love him, am I only kidding myself because I could never see myself marrying him (even though Im not planning on getting married any time soon) and I wouldnt want my kids to go through the stress he does of having ADD. Did i mention that I also tend to make fun of him at times, though thats the LAST THING i want to ever do? He just makes me so mad at times even though I know its not his fault. ...
...I really want an honest opinion, is it worth staying with him to enjoy the good parts of our relationship or is it hopeless.
P.S. He is getting counseling & taking meds, but I know there's only so much either can do.
HEEEELLLLP!!!!!!!!!
