Is anyone dating an adult with ADD or ADHD and how does it affect your relationship?

When I say adult, I mean a serious relationship between two people who are at least 19yrs old preferably 25 yrs or older. This is only because there are many things that you (at least I) experience after the sheltered life of college is over.
Please don’t get offended..I actually have ADHD myself and wonder if anyone else has problems in their relationship at times because of it! I feel bad for my boyfriend of four years sometimes. Yes, I can be exciting and am very intelligent but can also be a handful with the disorganization and moodiness ect. And no, I don’t have bipolar just ADHD.
I agree with you on the fact that we are interesting, very intersting but there must be other people out there who either have serious boyfriends/girlfriends or husbands/wives and find it difficult at times to deal with us! My boyfriend loves me a great deal but I tend to sometimes “blurt” out what comes to mind without thinking and it usually is hurtful comments because I am ultra sensitive. I feel that a great deal that comes out of my mouth is just a protective mechanism that my boyfriend has learned to ignore. If he said those things to me however I would be devastated. You know, those things just to get a reaction at that particular moment that we regret later.
