[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are dumb to be so fixated on sleep because there’s a sleep problem. For some people with ADHD or anxiety or other issues, sleep is an ESCAPE. He doesn’t know how to set introvert boundaries so he makes it that he has to sleep. He’s literally just trying to get away from you for a few hours and get some peace and quiet. [/quote]

It could be that, or alcoholism or sex addiction. Or apnea.

That kind of medical issue would be the best case - easily treatable, and the kids get dad back. [/quote]

Oh my goodness, so dramatic. Dad doesn’t need to come “back” when he’s not gone. He’s with his family all day, multiple-day vacation, it’s fine to take a break.

It’s fine to have ADHD, or simply to be an introvert. We all know insecure and controlling extroverts (not all extroverts, just the insecure and controlling ones) cannot handle the lack of attention. We know you need to be in charge, we know you need the spotlight, we got it. You are effing exhausting. I feel sorry for henpecked DH.[/quote]

If he’s suffering with adhd and maintaining his family life his wife seems unaware. That’s extremely possible, but the answer is for him to get treatment - medication or therapy - and open line of communication with the wife and kids so they understand why he’s acting the way he is. [/quote]

He’s communicating he needs down time and time to relax and rest. Which is fine to do on vacation. If you want to go-go-go, off you go-go-go. It’s a vacation. The kids are not toddlers. Adapt, make a compromise, get over it. I’d be exhausted if I was a henpecked spouse of OP, too. Want to go? Go. Want to leave the kids? Great, they can watch TV, read, nap, etc.[/quote]

Like I said, some men aren’t cut out to be dads. [/quote]

Not cut out to be martyrs, sure.[/quote]

I just don’t understand why he goes on vacation with them if he doesn’t want to spend time with them. Just go on the golf vacations you enjoy, dude![/quote]
