I am glad to hear that you are working toward bettering yourself and took the necessary steps to identify that there are these issues. You should really take a little comfort in knowing that even though he did take a break that he did come back. I can tell your from personal experience that it is very hard on a day to day basis to deal with a partner who has these symptoms. I applaud you for hanging in there and seeking to better yourself and I understand your concern for your relationship. I think if you were to sit down and explain to him that you are aware of the issues and working towards improving them he might feel a little more comfort.
I am currently in a relationship where my bf has bad anger issue and ADHD. He frequently gets mad about stupid little things and spends very little quality time with me because he is alway bouncing around from one thing to another. From time to time when we do get into an argument and I get so frustrated that I do argue back with him we eventually come to an understanding that it was over nothing and he realizes that he needs to work on these problems but to be honest he never really does. I have a hard time dealing with this and am starting to re-evaluate our relationship because it is becoming so stressful for me. I know that if he was to at least attempt to find some way to work on these problems instead of just telling me it's because he has anger issues and ADHD I know I would feel a sense of relief and it would be easier for me to find the energy and patience to continue to work on our relationship.
I understand where the both of you are coming from and I can only imagine how hard it is for your to go though this all and worry about your relationship on top of everything. I understand his point of view and making the statement that he wants to take this one day at a time, but don't fear the worst that he will leave you. I think that might just be his way of saying that he is committed to being there for you and that it's not something that will be quickly solved. So hang in there and best wishes to the both of you.
