My husband is addicted to video games. We both work full time. As soon as he gets home he heads straight for the PlayStation. He will play from 6PM to 2AM. He then relies on me to wake him up for work at 5AM. You can imagine how that goes…. Our marriage is suffering because we spend no time together. I’ve tried to have conversations with him to lay off the games. He gets mad and says I’m a destroyer of happiness. Marriage therapist/ div lawyers must have had input in these games to secure $!

My husbands friend who is single always sends him videos of attractive girls in bikini on tiktok (most of the time everything is hanging out). I was sitting next to my husband when he opened one link and I was 😱 now I’m sad thinking if my husband finds those girls more attractive than me 😣

I have a 6 month old, and I am 6.5 years out from law school. I would like to start trying to have another kid at the end of this year but feel if I wait a couple of more years to switch firms, no one will consider me since I'll be 8.5-9 years out and trying to break into a new practice area. I am going on 36.5 years old. I don't want to leave now and tell any that I am pregnant within the first year but I also don't want to leave immediately after I return from maternity leave. I feel stuck.

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me. I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.

How do you determine what issues in your relationship deserve working on and staying despite feeling disrespected/frustrated versus ending it? Definitely have a tendency to not give second chances out of fear my kindness is being taken advantage of, but I notice many people work through it and don’t take it so personal.

Any attorneys here with ADHD/ADD? I was recently diagnosed ADHD, but it was clear I had it my whole life.

Since I have been medicated, some executive functioning has been better but it’s really hit or miss. Anyone have any success stories? Would in-house be easier to manage as there is less executive functioning (ie no timekeeping and billing)? I appreciate any response in advance. Thanks!
