Stop Resentment Poisoning in Your Relationships

Feelings of resentment are not unique to relationships touched by ADHD. Spend enough time and years together, and many couples grapple with feelings of resentment harbored by one or both partners. But ADHD traits — like forgetfulness, disorganization, or weak follow-through — can hasten these feelings and chip away at effective problem-solving and communication.

Perhaps this scenario seems familiar: Resentment builds in one partner as they take on a majority of household and childcare duties, like arranging medical appointments and after-school activities, and paying monthly bills, because they believe the other partner can’t be counted on to do or follow through with these actions. And that partner feels nagged, shamed, angry, and inadequate, perpetuating a pattern of negative communication and relationship dissatisfaction.

In some cases, budding or long-term resentment isn’t that clear-cut. In fact, feelings may be more complicated and deserve a deeper examination.
