Sounds like you’ve just always gotten away with excuses instead of learning to admit you fucked up and owning it. Has nothing to do with ADHD and has more to do with showing personal responsibility.

Instead of becoming defensive, learn to admit you fucked up and leave it at that. Apologize for fucking up, and ask for some help remembering if you’re forgetting. Your partner is doing the right thing by communicating with you, and you need to do the right thing by admitting when you’ve fucked up, apologizing, and trying to fix it.
