    So continuing the analogy, to “not hand my wife a credit card,” I need to stop having conversations with her? Speak in short sentences that are harder to interrupt?

    Nah, we’ll keep trying to improve ourselves and keep communicating with each other.

    Sorry if you don’t want to feel bad about interrupting people.

      No, you need adjust your expectations. She’s going to interrupt you. Stop taking it personally. That’s your issue, not hers. And don’t act like ADHD is a moral failing with that “improve ourselves” ableist crap. It’s a disability, not merely an inconvenience. If you actually have ADHD that’s bad enough to be diagnosed and medicated, you should know solutions that require sustained effort will never work. If that is a new concept to you, please watch this video, save yourself some mental burdens and negative feelings, and have a better relationship https://youtu.be/4gdpvLQjdrE
