TIPS FOR COMMUNICATING

––––––––

Tip #1: Be Open

Being open is the best place to begin in a relationship. With ADHD playing a role, it is critical to ensure both partners understand each other. This does not only revolve around the disorder, but in general as well.

Being open ensures everyone is happy and makes sure the relationship does not wither away at the first sign of stress.

Tip #2: Play Rating Game

This is one of those games that has been passed down over the years. It is a nice, little game that works well with couples that have ADHD involved in their lives. The goal is to list down what each partner rates higher.

You will be rating things like chores, going to the movies, and everything else that is done in your day-to-day life. It can be surprising to see what your partner rates in comparison to yourself and what they give importance to.

Use this information to change around your life.

Tip #3: Listen

This is essential. If you are dealing with ADHD, you have to understand the importance of listening to your partner. This does not mean you have to agree to what they are saying, but showing a sense of concern and being there for them can do wonders. It demonstrates that you are interested in being with them.

Tip #4: Set Boundaries

A lot of couples don’t understand the importance of setting boundaries. In a sense, if a couple wants to stay together and see the relationship prosper despite the ADHD, they will have to separate from each other. How does this work? The goal is to create boundaries of what you can and cannot do.

This information is priceless and will ensure that both of you don’t step on each other’s toes too often.

Tip #5: Explain the Issue

ADHD can take a while to understand. If you spouse does not get the idea of ADHD or tends to forget about it, this is the time to sit down and explain it to them. You will be surprised how often this is all that is required to make a relationship work.

This does not mean, you start using the ADHD as an excuse for everything. However, it should be spoken about between the couple as often as possible.

Tip #6: Remain Calm

One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to not remain calm. If your spouse does not understand how bad your ADHD is, the last thing you should be doing is getting angry. It will make the situation even worse than it is at the moment and that is never a good thing.

Learn to stay calm and resolve the issue like adults. Many relationship troubles are caused because of this problem alone.

Tip #7: Don’t Agitate

This ties in with the previous tip. Agitation can cause matters to worsen and often times the issue will not get resolved for a while. Instead of diving head first into a situation of this magnitude, learn to step off the gas pedal.

Slow things down and listen to one another. This is the only way to ensure agitation does not become the reason for splitting up.

Often times, the ADHD isn’t the problem; it is the continuous presence of agitation.

Tip #8: Show Willingness to Improve

When you are dealing with ADHD, you have to demonstrate the willingness to improve yourself. This will demonstrate that you want to go out of your way to make sure the relationship sticks for the rest of your life.

Sure, you might not see results, but it shows dedication and enthusiasm which means a lot.

Tip #9: Don’t Point Out Their Faults

What is a common reaction to another person picking on your faults? You start listing off their faults. This simply does not bode well for the relationship and picking on their faults is the last thing you should be doing.

It is essential to remain calm and not bow down to the pressures of wanting to insult them back. It is childish and unnecessary.
