My partner and I both have ADHD and we've been trying to manage our household together for three years but we keep falling into this pattern where one of us hyperfocuses on organizing everything while the other completely shuts down, and then we switch roles and it all falls apart again. We love each other but I'm starting to think our combined executive dysfunction is making us worse at life than we'd be apart.
