Question: 

I am the unfaithful spouse and over many years (a lifetime really) I hid underlying issues around confidence, self esteem, sexual adequacy. After my affairs were discovered I was diagnosed with ADHD…it’s causes many problems in my work and personal life even before infidelity. I see it clearly now that I’ve been diagnosed but how did I not see it before? How did ADHD and other factors like depression and anxiety contribute to my affairs?
