[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He has ADHD. Seriously, he's able to do well at work because he's able to focus on that one thing. Once work is over, he wants to "zone" into games, sleep, etc. and will use all kinds of techniques to avoid tasks that seem tedious or boring. 
I have a teen son with ADHD and without meds, he acts exactly like this.

I'm the PP that said the DH sounds selfish and entitled, but actually this makes more sense.  Significant ADHD and defensiveness about doing anything to fix it.  [/quote]

Is ADHD making him complain about the cleaners, lol?

The fact is, you can both be ADHD and a jerk. I have a brother w ADHD and he is a fantastic husband. ADHD does not excuse or explain this total abdication.

Also ADHD does require symptoms in multiple areas.  Someone who can manage work can also manage home duties. Someone motivated to run every day has the capacity to do the freakin’ dishes.

Agreed. I’m the person that posted she has multiple options and women choose different paths. But my husband has ADHD and he is NOT a jerk. We have a great division of labor based on our respective strengths. I do more of the planning and he does more of the doing. I do think this guy might have some actual diagnosable issues — but that doesn’t mean he isn’t also a jerk.[/quote]
