I mentioned it later, but I don't think she really knew what I was talking about.
My T also has a partner with ADHD, but I only know that because I do too. It's helpful to know that she has that perspective when we talk about my relationship, particularly because I think she and I both tend to be much more focused/intense people in general. That contrast is an interesting one to navigate in a romantic relationship.

So, my H also has ADHD. But I suspect I may have a bit of that too. Like the way that T was describing his wife going through the pile of papers...that's totally me. And I think I have some executive functioning issues...
But yeah, I both liked and disliked "weekend T." Liked that he was more relaxed, but disliked that he maybe seemed more critical of me. But maybe that was just my interpretation...
