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.

Thank you. I make sure they have time to chill and I keep an eye on the diary.

He’s proactive with fun family trips out and is a fantastic Dad. I suppose I tend to be more realistic with how long it takes to get there and what they’ve been doing before and afterwards so I keep it manageable!

He likes to keep busy and personally relaxes by doing exercise.

We have a good relationship and keep talking 👍

It's just his personality type, I think. There are lots of women like this too.

My DH was in the Armed Forces and went to a Forces boarding school @Begsthequestion. There is a reason that some branches of the AF want people with ADHD!

That's really interesting! Thanks for responding. I have ADHD too, but the inattentive type and I can't imagine trying to keep up with someone like your DH without suffering burnout every few weeks. He must be hyper!
