Is this interrupting?

I will add in that I have ADHD and do find I interrupt people a lot, either because I am impulsive or I feel i will forget what I am going to say. My boyfriend has said it’s one of the things that people do that annoys him the most. He knows I can’t help it sometimes but still.

Today he was explaining something and I just said “oh why?” He then said “let me finish” in a fed up tone.

I honestly just felt I had a natural reaction - it was a reaction not an interruption. He doesn’t agree.

am I in the wrong?

I think if you've spent so long interrupting someone they get their backs up and are kind of expecting it so are ready to say something. This one example might not have seemed it to you, but its probably one of a long line of them. If it's something you can't help he should be understanding of that. I have ADHD and I make sure I don't interrupt people as I know how easy it can be done.

Yes I think it probably was a build up for him. Thank you
