[quote=Anonymous]Is this a new onset? How was he different in the past? It sounds like you are very close and perhaps he is more open to your company than he is to others - do you have the kind of relationship where you can gently talk to him about this? If he hasn’t always been like this then he might be experiencing depression and/or anxiety. Does he have any medical conditions that cause pain, or medication that might cause irritability? I would wait until you witness the next outburst and then begin a conversation in a subsequent calm moment - “John, I’ve been wanting to talk to you about this for a little while but have hesitated to say anything because I don’t want to overstep or invade your privacy. But I haven’t seen your smile in such a long time, and I don’t see you enjoying the things that you used to. Something seems to have changed since you retired/the divorce/cuz. I care about you so much and just want to check in and see what you think.” [/quote]
