This week on Is it ADHD or Life? – A Couple’s Perspective, we’re back with Agony Aunt Special – Part 2… and we’re not going to lie, the last two weeks have not been plain sailing. We start with a proper reflection on what’s been going on, the tension, the stress, and yes… we even ask the dramatic question: could divorce be on the cards? (Don’t panic. Probably.)

Then we get back into your listener ADHD problems and questions, and we give our honest perspectives on the big theme of this series: is it ADHD… or is it just life?

We tackle:

  • Holiday packing and why it turns into chaos every single time
  • The hobby graveyard (how many “phases” is too many?)
  • Selective hearing and the relationship fallout
  • Phone time and the constant battle for attention
  • Deadlines, last-minute panic, and the stress it creates for everyone
  • Constant interrupting and how it feels from both sides

Adam also brings back his segment: “What he found on Facebook that means you have ADHD” which is always a mix of painfully accurate and completely unhinged. This week includes:

  • You can’t do tasks unless you’ve got shoes or socks on (admin needs footwear, apparently)
  • Only texting back when you’re in the right physical position (because ADHD apparently has rules)

Then we finish with Five Minute Moans:

  • Treating the bedroom fan with respect (it’s been through enough)
  • Donna’s messy car… and whether it’s time to reveal just how messy it really is

If you’ve ever argued about packing, hobbies, phones, deadlines, or being interrupted mid-sentence, you’re going to feel very seen in this one.
