I think I hear what Rick is saying: its not that he doesnt like time with GF, its that he cant sit still..

and TV is sitting still, and perhaps in his mind, not accomplishing anything.

you must have grown up on a farm, or in the country, where there are always projects or something that must, or should be done.

I grew up that way.. and sitting around watching tv was looked upon as a lazy past time.

In fact, when I got divorced, I had NO tv in my apartment for years. Not at my second home either. "Aquaintances" I brought around would comment "NO TV?".. amazing how much more intellectual quality time was spent in leiu of that one eyed monster! (wont even mention exta curicular B-room activites .. heheh)

For me, though, I prefer being outside anyway, so that adds to my dilema. sitting inside isnt my bag.

So, I too am like you I beleive. I can relate... from the minute I am up, I am at it.. not necessarily auto related, but maybe yard work, cutting firewood, building a stone wall, etc.

always gotta be moving. and I like physical work as I am an ofice boy M-F each week...AND... I know I have a hard time relaxing.. but I am getting better at it.

I do like keep moving, and when I start I project, I usually keep at it till I am physically exhausted... then I sit down. but usually not for long, I am back up, maybe looking over progress of what project I worked on till exhaustion earlier that day :)

Its can be a bit of a problem with a partner, GF, significant other or wife though.. unless she understands what your made of.

In my case, my GF understands thats who I am.. she dont neccessarly like it, but she also likes the fact I am NOT lazy either (like past significant others) and I do make time once its dark or too cold to work outside to do the "TV THING".. I am getting better at "relaxing" I guess... but there are times I cannot... I hear your pain... I can relate... but I dont condem :) I am the same way...
