[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m really sorry OP. But this is not a healthy situation. I feel tense reading about it. Has he ever been physically aggressive with you? Does he have PTSD or anything? [/quote]

Nope - never. It’s sad but I’m sort of surprised by that. I mean he’s never even been close, and he is adamantly against spanking or any sort of physical pinjshement for our kids (we’re on the same page). His reactions are purely verbal. He doesn’t namecall. He just slams and bangs and blusters and refuses to hash out a conversation.

After a few minutes he’s totally fine like nothing ever happened. These incidents don’t faze him in the least, even if I’m in tears. He’s able to move past it very quickly. No PTSD. Quirky family but no major physical abuse. [b]Some mental illness (nervous breakdowns) in the women on his side of the family[/b]. [/quote]

I'm no expert but I bet those "nervous breakdowns" and his blow up issues are related.  Does he have anxiety?  Honestly it sounds like a mental issue that needs to be addressed with therapy and medication - but neither will be successful unless he really accepts that what he does is unacceptable and he commits to changing because of that - not just to appease you.  You said he "takes pride" in being this sort of blow hard jackass, but he's also remorseful after blowing up at you - how do you resolve those two conflicting statements?[/quote]

My guess is that the women have "nervous breakdowns" because the men are like OP'S husband.[/quote]
