My partner has been diagnosed with ADHD at 50 years old.

Despite being in therapy and meditating he continues to blow up his life any chance he gets.

A lot of it is indulging in food, tv, alcohol but the biggest one that affects me is infidelity. Hence my post. He cheated on me with a coworker which resulted in him losing his second love - his job. And me.

He hasn’t been diagnosed with any addictions.

His therapist claims that his impulsivity is linked to his anxiety, and acting out in heightened or emotional moments.

I’m just not buying this and I can’t believe that ADHD could be this severe that someone blows up their life just by making impulsive decisions like that…

Can someone share some insight on this so i can learn better?

Edit:

I just wanted to thank everyone for all your responses. Im incredibly grateful for all your help and support. My heart is shattered and seeing how many people came here to help means so much to me 💔
