I was with my ex-husband for 7 years and I overlooked a lot because we had kids together but looking back, I think he may have some problems. He used to hit walls and punch holes through them. He would also hurt himself, like punch his own face to the point of bleeding. He is very spoiled so I don't know if it was just a tantrum or if there is some mental problems. He is also a drug user and a drinker but he did this stuff even while sober. He also never seemed to have guilt about anything.

Dang, sounds like the dude had some issues. I would consider mental problems since most adults even when spoiled when little, outgrow tantrums like this. Plenty of social disorders out there. Using Drugs prolly didn't helped one bit.

Well he certainly doesn't sound normal, it could be behavioural problems, the drugs & alcohol or a mental disorder. I know someone who had a husband who used to punch holes in walls (as well as her sometimes) & it was the usual case of someone from a violent household himself & he was somewhat traumatised by it. I also had a boyfriend as a teenager who punched holes in walls if he was angry & I dumped him as it scared me. His father left when he was little & his mother was addicted to antidepressants & she'd adopted out his younger brother that he'd never met. Interestingly both of these males I'm talking about didn't feel guilt or embarrasment over their behaviour either. I think it was ingrained in them that it was normal because no one had ever confronted them about it being unnacceptable.

He could have a neurological disorder as a result of the drug use. He sounds more like a manipulator than spoiled. Only a mental health professional could assess for sure.

The man you describe was injuring himself on purpose, his anger was out of control, he threw tantrums, was self-medicating with illegal drug and alcohol, and had no remorse.
Yes. A person who does these things has mental problems. This is something he is unable to "fix" on his own.

Hi. The simple answer is (given the information) is a borderline personality disorder. These unfortunate souls are prone to drinking and illicit substance use, self harm and unusual tantrum like outbursts. Plain and simple. If you didn't leave him who knows he may have hurt you?

Can you give more information of his disorder? Were there anything else like a repetiveness or usual routine?
MY other question is he a body builder? If he is, could there be possibility that he could be on steroid?
Alcohol does destroy brain cell regardless of what people say about this so called Antiaging chemical.

it sounds more like anger issues and repressing them for years will make you act like that just be glad he was not hitting you or the kids
