1. This man has an anger management problem.
2. Which shows up in the form of yelling and swearing every time he can't control his emotions, such as this evening, because he had a headache and was scared for his kid.

What do you want to do, OP? There are so many spouses in this situation. My best friend. Myself. Plenty of others.

Even in our case, when our husbands apologize and admit they have a problem, it still starts again when they're stressed, since that's when they can't control themselves.

You can ask him to go to therapy.
You can have him screened for ADHD (inattentive, hyperactive, or mixed type) and have him take stimulant meds to get him to feel more in control.
But truthfully, I don't think any of this will work 100%.

What I do recommend is that you change YOUR attitude. I freeze him out and stand my ground. He gets absolutely nothing from me unless he apologizes in front of his kids. Last time it took him a few days, but he did it. In the meantime, I don't lift a finger for him and don't talk to him.
