That's what makes them unique.

Joe Smith on the corner driving his BMW back and forth to the office daily like clockwork is not exactly interesting. He's a fucking robot, designed for one thing. Support and sustenance. Yay, sounds like fun, right? Nope.

The same goes for women. I'm in your boat, always have been.
Every man I have been in love with, apart from my current boyfriend and many of my dearest friends, have turned out to be (or I knew going in) to be ADHD. I am still not fully positive my current one isn't somewhere on the spectrum. He is a poet and musician and my experience tells me if I love him, he is going to turn out to have something. I am just drawn to those mental types in a way I can not explain but is obvious when I look back.

I guess maybe it also takes a certain type of woman/man to be able to deal with partners like that. You can't be somebody who is going to bolt at every moody snap that comes your way. The difficult part is not allowing their ADHD/Bi Polar, etc become an excuse for stuff you should leave them for. I have an ex husband who is learning the difference on his own now.
