[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to switch his morning coffee to decaf and put some valium in his orange juice. [/quote] I think you have to do the exact opposite. I think you need to acknowledge and validate his stress about this. It obviously stems from something. We have to get past the idea that men having feelings is a bad thing and something that should be mocked or that he should just 'man up'. If he is that stressed and is that panicked by it - there is a problem. Maybe it is triggering a past event or past response that was deeply humiliating or traumatizing. If you were incredibly stressed and panicked over something - how would you want him to respond. Would you want him to just roll his eyes and tell you to smarten up - that you are being ridiculous? I have no idea why this bothers him so much but a conversation with him that tries to figure that out would be a good first step. And one where you are genuine - not minimizing or mocking him.
