ADHD and Relational Boredom

Summary

This study explores whether and how people with ADHD experience relational boredom. Relational boredom refers to periods of boredom a person may experience in a romantic relationship, for example, where they may find their partner less interesting, or feel that the 'spark' has at least temporarily gone out. No research has investigated relational boredom among those with ADHD, and this research could provide valuable insight into romantic relationships where at least one partner has ADHD.
