Learn as much as you can about the disorder and if they and you are willing learn how to be an "add coach" (to help them develop stronger skills in their problem areas). Let them know you accept them for who they are, build up their self esteem on the things they do well (because most people with add have been told all their lives how dumb or rude or lazy they are) help them develop social skills they may be lacking in without being overly hostile or critical (if they interrupt all the time, point out that you are still speaking without yelling, the more they notice the behavior the more they can control it) Don't manage them, dont do for them any scheduling etc that they arent good at but rather help them learn to do this for themselves. Understand that growth is a process and it will take time for their annoying habits to improve but with positive help from you and a bit of patience and understanding a lot can happen. And they'll love that you care enough to accept their flaws without judging them.

What effect can ADHD have your relationships?
Well my brother has the condition, and is currently in a steady relationship. I think it could cause some strain on a relationship but its not like the partner wouldn't take ADHD into consideration. Truth be told, it isn't rare nor is it like its untreatable. If its so uncontrollable, the person who has the ADHD should get some help with it, so it wouldn't affect something like a relationship anyway.
How does having ADHD affect a relationship breakdown?
It can really affect both people. The person who does not have ADHD may feel that their partner doesn't listen to them carefully, forgets to do things, and doesn't take responsibility for doing things to help the relationship. On the other hand, the person with ADHD on some level may realize that they aren't "living up to" their partner's expectations, and that can result in self-esteem issues, or insecurity... or even a feeling of apathy if they feel like it's just "hopeless" and they're NEVER going to meet people's expectations in a relationship. One thing that can really help is if the partner who doesn't have ADHD is really clear about what they need from their partner and can convey it in SHORT, CONCISE statements. Like, instead of saying "I need you to do more around the house," instead you can say "I need you to take out the trash every night at 9pm" and then set an alarm on their phone, or their watch, etc. to help remind them. If you are the person with ADHD, making lists and posting it where you'll see it often can be helpful.
