Received my ADHD diagnosis Summer of 2024, in my early 40’s. Suddenly so much of my childhood, adolescence and adulthood experiences made sense! One of the biggest eye openers was my realization why I always end up bored and disinterested in every single one of my romantic relationships - including two marriages. I’ve literally never experienced romantic love - only hyperfixation! The various relationships lasted different amounts of time, but they all followed the same pattern that led to me ending things.
Great read, thank you. When I look back on my romantic relationships I see that I’ve often been part of me in each one but I’ve rarely been the whole me. I wonder if this has something to do with it too?

I wish I'd known this earlier in my life
