My boyfriend has ADD

My boyfriend has ADD and he really stresses me out sometimes. I feel like I always have to follow behind him to make sure that things get done because he is very forgetful.

" I have ADD, and really struggle with laziness and procrastination. I have it without the predominant hyperactivity--I'm more of a space-out, daydreaming type. Good luck with your guy. :) "
