been there... oh wait... AM there...
Oh, sweetie. I hate to say it, but if this guy won't even consider getting treatment for his ADD, it's a huge red flag. It sounds like he doesn't really care how the disease affects your relationship, and is expecting you to take up the slack for all the damage his ADD causes in the relationship. I've been married to an ADDer for 2 1/2 years and even though he's on medication and TRYING to be better at helping around the house, etc., we still have HUGE issues. I can't imagine how hard it would be to try and make things work with someone who isn't even trying from their end. I, too, thought I could "help" and "change" my guy... after a while, I found out that you can "help" till you're blue in the face, but a lot of times even your best efforts dont't do a whole lot, and as far as "changing" the behaviors/personality of someone with ADD... good luck!
I hate to sound so harsh, but you deserve someone who puts as much effort into the relationship as you do. If he can't even TRY to do that, you'll probably be happier without him, in the long run.
