If at first you don’t succeed, give it a little more effort and you might be pleasantly surprised! When initiating intimacy with your ADHD partner, you might find some initial resistance.

This initial lack of interest should be expected given how the ADHD mind works.

For partners with ADHD, getting started can seem overwhelming. Until the neurons of interest are firing the ADHD mind is simply not engaged.

How many times have you had to convince your ADHD spouse to go do something? Only to find that once your out, they tell you they are having “the time of their life. “

Guess what, initiating intimacy is really no different. Offer a little notice, and a drop of persistence, and you might find that once your ADHD partner gets engaged in the dance of intimacy, they may soon discover that they too are “Having a really great time!”
