[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband does this to a much lesser extent. He does have mild, late-in-life ADHD diagnosis and gets anxious in social situations - he’s awkward and shy with new people, and when he’s in a social situation with old friends he just sort of loses his filter because he’s so excited to be among friends.

The interrupting at home I have gotten really serious about because it hurt/annoyed me so much. I’ve started naming it most times. “You just cut me off” “I wasn’t finished talking”. He also turns every single discomfort back about himself, reflexively. If I say “I didn’t sleep well,” before it is fully out of my mouth he’ll say “yeah, I slept terribly and I’m tired”. If I say “I don’t feel well at all, I am getting a cold” he’ll say “I have a headache too.” We’ve talked about it, he’s sorry, he understands why I hate it. He is often lost in his own head, though, and words come out of his mouth before he has thought about them.[/quote]

WOW, my husband does the exact same thing. It beyond leaves me hurt and feeling like he does not care because EVERYTHING goes back to him. It is like I can never have a moment of the spotlight, ever. He always has to one up. He too talks loud and interrupts. Unlike your husband, my husband claims it is part of having a two way conversation. I therefore limit my conversations with him. He too has ADD.[/quote]
