AIBU to feel awkward around “busy” dh

Since lockdown I’ve really noticed that dh absolutely cannot sit still. He’s had a super stressful week at work wfh from 8am or earlier till 7pm at least with an hour or two to see to ds when I’m on calls (I’m also wfh) and complaining he’s not doing enough, not pulling his weight etc. Then today he was up at 7 for a run, dropped some supplies to mil, cleaned the house, came on a family walk for an hour and is now cutting the grass. He’ll be knackered tonight and prob mention he hasn’t sat down all day.
Now I am swinging between irritation that he won’t just sit down, guilt that he’s done all he cleaning And I slept in, feeling lazy myself as there’s not much left to do, so I go trying to find jobs to do myself but then feeling resentful that I’ve had a tough week too and should be able to relax on a Saturday and read a bit in the sun.
Aaaarghhhg...... AIBU to feel guilty / lazy / awkward trying to chill a bit today?

Sounds like my DP. He can’t relax either. Don’t feel
guilty at all. You relax and get your energy back. If he says anything tell him he’s the one who’ll probably have a premature heart attack

You chill out if you want to. He's a grown up if he wants to rush around it's on him!
