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.
