How does one handle a partner with ADD?

my boyfriend loves the beauty of women, and i do too.. but with his ADD hes a little too attentive to it for my jealousy, how do i cope? i love the guy.How does one handle a partner with ADD?
I think that you already sound like you are handling it well. From the way you described and had compassion for his ADD. You know that even though he has ADD, he doesn't have to stare to the point of being rude towards your feelings. Tell him that you don't like it and that he needs to stop.How does one handle a partner with ADD?
Thank you so much Ames. I know several people who have suffered with ADD, and you are a wonderful person for hanging in there. I will include you and your boyfriend in my prayers. Things will get better, don't worry. E-mail me if you want to talk.

You have to make a choice....because he is not going to change...so you have to choose you're wants and needs or his wants and needs...I think you'll choose yours because it sounds like him googling other women really bothers you...





I'd cut him loose if you can't deal with his wondering eye...
When you asked, how do i cope? You answered your question with the correct answer. Any one that has a handicapp or physical or mental limitations beyond their control need someone to love them. While their actions may not be easiest to deal with knowing the source is a large part of the coping. The love part makes coping seem not so large a question.
Sounds like an excuse. ADD does not make you more attentive to the beauty of women. It means that you can't focus on one thing for very long with out difficulty.
Sounds like a convenient excuse to me. ';Oh sorry I was ogling her breasts. My ADD is acting up again.'; C'mon.
Back hand. Or in other words, five across the eyes.
drugs, hardcore drugs.
Counseling.....let him know what is and isn't acceptable.


He might be using his ADD as an excuse for his behavior.





As a woman you need to have things that are non negotiable


And you need to learn what you can live with and what you can't live with.


Then have a guy in your life that you deal with.





Been there done that myself.
He should be getting professional help for the ADD. That's the first thing you should talk about. You are in for a tough time, but if he cares about you, he'll work with you and get help.
Some times with people with ADD you just have to live with it. You can point it out to him that it may be a little annoying, but if you love someone, you should love everything about them, even their disabilities.
