I'm not a mental health professional, but I know lots of people with ADHD who don't act like this. About the most sympathetic thing I can say is that you need to come clean to your wife and get the fuck to therapy.

One of the things during my ADHD screening was asking about risky/uncontrolled spending, gambling, and sexual risk taking.

I'm not saying it's everybody I'm not even saying it's the sole or main reason I did this stupid thing that I'm confessing here, i do think it was a factor as getting therapy and medicinal support for the ADHD has dramatically reduced the impulse to seek pleasure/happiness from other places, be it spending money on things in hopes they will make me happy or spending money on women to see if i will finally feel something.

Fair--like I said, I'm not a mental health professional. Whatever the case, OP needs to talk to a professional.
