Forum: Communication with ADHD

This is my first time posting here. I’m currently dating someone with ADHD. We’ve been together-ish for 2 years. The “ish” is because I didn’t understand the role his ADHD played in our attempted connection. He would disappear for months and I would assume it was over. But he always came back and acted like nothing had happened. I didn’t understand how he could possibly care about me and do that. But I somehow believed him and I believed in us. So here we still are. We’re finally in a more serious and a bit more consistent place. But he still doesn’t reply to messages for a week and trying to get him in person is hard. He owns his own business and is always overwhelmed. I’m committed to him and willing to try anything. I know that things will never be exactly how I want them and I accept that. But, I also need to not be ignored for weeks at a time (I know that’s not the intention, but the result is still the same). We’ve just started exploring tools to make it easier for him so I’m open to any and all suggestions! Thank you in advance!!
