My husband has untreated (I've tried) ADHD and he definitely acts like this, though I don't think he dump out the soup, but would grab it away and spill some. Also loses things all the time. Is hyper sensitive to criticism and reactive. He is also incredibly loyal, would take a bullet for us, is not selfish and tries to make up for disorganization and anxiety fueled reactions. While I wish he would try meds again, things got better after he quit caffeine, started exercising for stress, and going to family therapy, a big part of which is about his relationship to our son, and has shown him how negative patterns and anxiety have created a bad dynamic.  I've also learned to be super chill, and not react like I used to....

Good luck op. I don't think it's abusive but it is unhealthy. [/quote]
