So I'm dating a new guy. Yay! I consider myself high energy. I'm in my thirties, not overweight (could lose a few), and rarely sit down. However, this guy is only a couple of years older than me and runs circles around me. We have been spending a lot of time together and I'm exhausted! I don't think I can keep up. He works, works out, has hobbies, kids, and is always going. He wants to go away this weekend. I'm not sure I can do it. I want to relax. Has anyone had experience with this? I'm sure this is way too vague to analyze. We've only been dating since May.

Maybe it's the new women energy for him. Have you said can we just hang out and relax? You might just not be a good fit. I know several people that I can only take in small doses. I wouldn't dream of an exclusive relationship with someone with too much energy. I need some down time.

I don't know where my SO gets all his energy. He and I both work full time and work out regularly, but he could do something every day and never get tired. He doesn't have kids but mine is almost 13, so that's not really draining. I do have T1 diabetes, so that has probably a little to do with it, but even my non-disease-having friends wonder how he can go and go and go! Fortunately, he is accomodating when I just want a couch potato day.
ETA: I am 42 and he is 48

I am dragging him to a voter registration event at 8 am on the 4th. He would rather sleep in and have a late breakfast instead of walk around with a clipboard. He doesn't come to every activity or event but I do appreciate that he fully supports me and will occasionally come along and help out. |

My DH has more morning energy than I do. We probably chill out/sleep about the same amount of time but at different times of the day. He wakes up early but will sometimes nap later in the afternoon. I wake up later but am a night owl.
