Is this a disorder of some sort or just immaturity?
Answer:
It's a disorder. It's called being a man. Women are more sensible then men. We tend to maticulously plan everything. Men just do whatever feels right at the moment. There's no way to change it.
sounds like it time for counseling.
couple's counseling, that is...
A behavior will be a disorder if the behavarior affects people around him and the normality of life. If he is like drinking that large quantity of alcohol,but can handle it with no distraction being done, then it is normal (psychologically speaking). But if it affects your relationship as husband-wife and his other relationships, then it is possibly to be a disorder.
About "going overboard" in general, this is a sign of obsessive-compulsive personality disorder.
interesting-----yes the lack of self control definately has a childish component. I understand your frustration. Can this be symptoms of obsessive personality disorder? Sounds like it to me. My advice would be for him to seek professional help.
Well.after all the thought and effort I put into the answer to your last question. Don't I just feel stupid now.
my thought is there has never been a consequence that impacted him enough to get him to change this behavior. Not the arguing between the two of you, or whatever else he has dealt with due to this. It sucks but a lot of people discover later on so much more about people who we thought we already knew well. it sucks more when we get married or have children with them. We have to make the most and the best of our lives. It's not for someone else do to. And most important we can only offer our knowledge to people we can never change them. that's to not say people can not change, people do change in lot's of different ways, all of the time. This happens only because we want it. becaue we dont want how it will be the other way. good luck only you know what you can handle.
maybe if he had grown up very poor and learned at a young age how to conserve things, and save money he wouldnt be this way. but you never know maybe
In order to diagnose your husband, one would need more information on his behaviors within the context of his day to day life. You can only diagnose if the following is true and your husband meets the criteria for a disorder in the DSM-IV: Clinically significant behavioral or psychological syndrome that occurs in an individual and is associated with present distress (eg a painful symptom) or disability (ie impairment in one or more important areas of functioning) with a significantly increased risk of suffering death, pain, disability or an important loss of freedom. Based on the info you have shared, we can only tell right now that he has impulse control issues.
