    With a perspective on both sides, I have come to realize that while I hate waiting for others to finish what they say, I even more so hate being wrongfully summarized.

    It is a very large part of my current relationship that we constantly work on, both being ADHD, and it has taught me how impatient I have been myself in regards to my own ADHD. When we try to “cut to the chase”, we take away agency from the other person. It’s quite hard to explain because it is context sensitive, but just try to be patient with people. Make it a personal mental game to guess what they are saying, but at least let them have the independence to say it themselves

    Then you both need to compromise on what a “day off” means for you both. Of course you can’t reject your personal responsibilities, and having children will certainly not help, but everyone deserves a way to work through stress. I hope you have your own outlets!

    We all get worked up and stressed from time to time. Life is all about finding that next rest spot to take some time for yourself.

    I think the obvious answer is you need a nice 2-day weekend for yourself. Not necessarily alone, but just doing some stuff you want rather than only what you need.
