He likes to always be on the go. Fair enough. He lines lovely things up for me and the DC but finds it hard to sit back and obvserve.

I mean weekend days like computer games, bus ride, restaurant, shop, park... All great things but one straight after the other with no stopping in between? I have to tell him we need to spread them out a bit.

Then he’s shattered in the evening but says he finds it hard to relax in the day.

Leisure time isn’t relaxing if it’s not leisurely? Are some men just like this?
He’s got a lot on with a poorly relative
so I think he doesn’t like to stop and think.

I'm female and like this (also likely undiagnosed ADHD). I wake up early and cant sleep because my brain just says ITS GOTIME! I'm always absolutely exhausted in the evenings to the point i have headaches and nausea.

Sounds like my DH. Finds it impossible to relax even when he has had injuries and surgeries in the past. Always shattered by the evening. Can't sleep in in the morning. Threw himself into sports coaching every weekend despite a high powered and demanding job. It is very tiring to live with. But DH is a lovely man, great dad and we have a good relationship.

Posters get a lot of flak for bringing up ND on here, but DS has ADHD and during his diagnosis DH was ticking more boxes than he was! We all acknowledged it, including DH. Apparently he was a nightmare child. I am very laid back and when we first got together PIL joked that I'd be the only one able to put up with him! We laughed at the time but now I know what they meant.

I know it’s better than him not doing anything with the kids.
