Recognizing Resentment in ADHD Relationships: Insights from Ari Tuckman

Resentment is the number one topic my subscribers ask me about — and it’s easy to see why. In ADHD relationships, small frustrations and unmet expectations can quietly pile up over time, and often unconsciously, that frustration ignites the fire of resentment. This can affect how non-ADHD partners interact with their ADHD partner, which often kicks off a negative reaction back from the ADHD partner — creating a rollercoaster of emotions that neither of you wants to be on.

In Part 1 of my conversation with Ari Tuckman, we dive into how resentment shows up in ADHD relationships and why it can feel especially insidious when ADHD challenges are involved. Ari offers a thoughtful narrative on what’s happening on both sides — the ADHD partner and the non-ADHD partner — giving insight into why these patterns emerge and how each partner experiences them. This episode is about recognizing the early warning signs before resentment becomes entrenched, and gaining understanding that can help couples respond in a way that protects both their relationship and their own well-being.
