[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went through this with my husband.  In my mind, he would overreact.  A lot.  I also do not tolerate yelling.  At all - total deal breaker for me.  It took me threatening to leave (I actually was ready to file - so it was not an idle threat) to wake him up.  He still gets frustrated - but doesn't yell (at least not at me).  He is not perfect, by any stretch, but he really makes an effort.  And, for what it is worth, we do have a two year old - he is incredibly patient with him (something I probably would not have predicted).  He is truly an amazing father.  [/quote]

OP here - I should mention that my husband has started meditating with an app on his phone, recommended by his therapist. It's just 10 minutes a day but it has helped and he blows up a lot less than he used to. He is trying. I also believe he would be patient with a child - but what difference does that make if our kid still hears or witnesses him losing his shit? A child will blame him- or herself for Daddy's anger. "It's nothing personal" does not compute to a little kid, and that kind of disruption is traumatizing. [/quote]
