[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 129751, member: 439"] My ex (one of the main reasons he IS my ex) is classic ADD - no wonder both kids have traits of it. The ex had 8 different jobs in 16 years of marriage. That next job was always going to be "the one" that was: better, interesting, give him more freedom, what have you. Notice I said nothing about better pay or benefits there? I have a similar story to the cleaning ones above. I was putting driveway crack sealer down and was out in front of the house when I needed to open a new container. I asked the ex to get me a knife or something from the garage - which was at the back of the property 165 feet. I sat there for 10 minutes, then went to look for him. He wasn't in the garage. I came in the house - he wasn't in the kitchen. I heard a noise from the basement - he was down there reloading. I asked him where my knife was. He said he went to the garage to get it, but saw something he wanted to bring into the house. He did that, then saw something in the kitchen that he meant to take to the basement. He did that, then decided to stay down there and reload. What knife? He also hyperfocuses. Some of his have been running (he used to do ultra-marathons and triathalons), biking (he had 5 bikes at one time, all that he had purchased the parts for and spent many hours working on), and the latest is he bought a 2 family house to remodel and then rent out. This from the same person who has never finished any remodeling job at his current house - there is still one piece of Pergo that he's never put down from 12 years ago. [/QUOTE]
