[quote=Anonymous]NP here. My DH is like this and on top of it, if I take over something he's not doing, he will sometimes get upset and demand I let him do it... and then not do it. I'm talking for months, not hours or days. We have been fined by our HOA for not getting a needed repair on our property (that was a genuine safety hazard) because he dragged his feet on it for TWO YEARS. To those of you suggesting it's ADHD, I believe you. But how do you get a diagnosis? My DH has zero childhood evidence of ADHD. He was an excellent student (high school valedictorian, went to an Ivy where he completed a challenging STEM major with good grades) and always socially adept. No evidence of either hyperactive or inattentive symptoms in childhood or adolescence. Even now, the issue seems to be anxiety/procrastination but not necessarily typical ADHD symptoms. I'm at a loss for how to proceed. DH knows it's a problem and is 100% open to seeing a doctor, getting a diagnosis, and pursuing therapy or medication, though. But he will never actually make those appointments or follow through on his own. I don't know where to start. He is a good partner in other ways, FWIW.[/quote]
