I've been married for 10 years and it hasn't been an easy 10 years. Many things have taken place. I left him for 3 months this year and finally moved home but still not convinced I want to stay married to him. I have read some of your book that just came out, the 6 signs. But after reading most of it it made me agree. He was the one who should read it first because he agreed he would read it. I have done my research but if he doesn't believe what I say it won't do us any good. I'm so tired and don't know if it is worth my time and frustrations to work this out. I have a temper anyway and trying to keep that to a minimum is crazy hard! He also makes it difficult on me when I do want to end the relationship. I know he loves me but I'm tired of being alone. I'd like to do the things I like to do but I have to go alone or with friends. I want to do things with my spouse but if he does go it ends up in a fight or its not much fun and I wish he didn't go with me. I'm a very positive and upbeat person and if I wasn't I would be so depressed right now and I don't want to get to that position in life. What do I do to get him to take me serious when I want him to learn more of why he does the things he does and that there is help if he does have ADHD. Which I'm almost 99% sure he does. I have so many examples and hurt feelings I could go on and on about and wish I could find it deep down to leave him and go through the tough times of a year or so and then not have to deal with this the rest of my life.
