ADHD traits. It runs in families, so watch out for your DD.

And I know I'm going to be castigated here by the crowd who hates to have that diagnosis brought up all the time, but here's the truth from a research scientist: it's more common than you think, and all mental disorders are on a spectrum, from non-existent to severe. There are lots of people walking about right now who have attention issues, maybe not to the level of a diagnosis, but enough to irritate their families and work colleagues.

I'm 21:47 and had similar issues with my spouse. The thing about the ADHD "excuse" is, if this behavior is caused by an illness then why does it get better with time, couples counseling, and/or OP breaking down? These guys can fix their behavior, they just don't until divorce is on the line.  It's in their control.

It frankly wouldn't shock me if my DH had ADHD (he was deeply hurt when I suggested it, so we'll never know). But him being a thoughtless man-child matches the facts at least as well. And there are SO MANY of these guys, I can't believe 75% of the male population has undiagnosed ADHD that mostly manifests after their first kid is born.  This is cultural not biological.[/quote]

If it gets better, then it's very mild and he can compensate if he's really motivated, or it was something else. My husband cannot get better to save his life, so for him it's severe ADHD (diagnosed by a professional).
