Does ADHD make it impossible to not be messy?

My partner has crippling ADHD. Right now he’s the one paying rent and covering household expenses. He works very hard and juggles multiple clients at once. He also has back taxes he pays every month. My work permit is still in processing, so I do freelance work that covers my own expenses.

I’m explaining all this because since he’s covering the bigger expenses right now, I try to help around the house instead. He helps too sometimes.

Here’s the problem. Because of his ADHD, he’s all over the place and messy, not dirty messy, but things like socks thrown everywhere, the closet always open with clothes falling out, his bathroom drawer constantly a mess. Whenever he cooks, I actually get stressed beforehand because I know the spices, food items, and sauces will all end up misplaced, and the sink will be piled with dishes after.

When I clean, I put in a lot of time and effort, so I want the space to stay that way for at least a day or two so I can actually enjoy it. But the house gets messy again so fast that it kills my motivation. When I’m home alone, or when he’s out for work, I love sittingg in the clean space I created its so important for my mood. I just want him to help maintain that for even a week, but he tells me his ADHD makes executive functioning difficult.

One example: I cleaned his bathroom drawer yesterday, sanitized it, cleaned the products inside, wiped off the toothpaste residue, and organized everything. He appreciated it a lot. But this morning I opened it and he’d already thrown his shaving cream and other stuff back in without any order. I know that in another day or two it’ll be right back to how it was. This kills my motivation to keep cleaning. When I ask him to put things back where they belong, he says he has too much on his plate already and that his brain can’t hold onto that many things at once, and I don’t want to add to his struggle.

So my questions are:
\- Is it so hard for people with ADHD to put things back in place?
\- Am I being inconsiderate as I really believe these are basic life skills everyone should work on regardless of how busy you are?

Would love to know everyone’s opinion here! Also what does DX mean? (New here!)

Filing a FTC complaint against HP “customer service”

I AM SO DONE. HP billed me for a subscription I didn’t even know I signed up for, cancelled same day, still no refund, customer service is a nightmare.

I’ve been trying to get a hold of an actual human for days now. Every time I get “connected” to customer service, it’s some AI that can’t answer basic questions, and then it just transfers me to another rep who also can’t help. Rinse and Repeat!!!! I’ve gone in circles for days over what should be a simple refund.

I’m clearly not the only one dealing with this. Apart from all the reddit posts here, there’s a youtube video linked directly on HP’s own website with over 1,000 comments, all saying the exact same thing about not being able to reach real support. Their AI phone agent just repeats the same script no matter what you say. It’s actually unbelievable for a company this size??

Ive always been a calm peaceful person but HP has changed me completely. Anyone ever thought of or have filed FTC or BBB complaint against HP before??

Anyone else regrets choosing INLAND Sponsorship 2026?

I submitted my application on March 28, 2026, got AOR on May 15, then got an email saying it could take months before processing even starts. Nothing since.

I find myself incessantly checking this group hoping to get some clue, just waiting on my work permit while I keep seeing outland posts getting PR in just a few months. SO JEALOUS ( but happy for them)

Most posts here are outland since processing is so quick, meanwhile us inland applicants have to wait around 2 years :'(

While I wait for my permit, my partner is supporting us, but in this economy one income is not enough, especially in Toronto. I wish I knew about outland with dual intent and being able to come to Canada while it processes.

I'm stuck in this weird spot now, I've already waited 5 months so switching to outland feels like it would waste all that time, but I've still got 10+ months left?!

Anyone else a 2026 applicant who regrets picking inland?

Why do walk clubs/social meetups get awkward so fast?

Okay so, I keep finding myself in the same spot. I need friends, and I genuinely love conversation, I'm not introverted or awkward, and I work remotely. Recently, I tried a women's walk club in downtown hoping to meet some new people, and it ended up being a pretty awkward experience.

There were a lot of people, so there wasn't really enough time to figure out who I'd click with. I ended up talking to a handful of people, some of them were more introverted, and we just walked in silence for the last 10 minutes. It wasn't that I was shy, we just ran out of things to talk about and it felt kind of forced. At the end everyone exchanged socials, but I never actually heard from anyone after because we didn't have enough to talk about and just didn't click.

Do these clubs actually work for people?
