[quote=Anonymous]OP, if something like this has never happened before, this is how you handle it: you laugh it off.  Since this is the first time this happens, it's important to set the standard of how you will respond to this kind of behavior.  The way you respond to this kind of behavior with a man who is just having a bad week and is not a controlling asshole is you refuse to take it seriously.

It takes two people to have a conflict.  One has to start, yes, but another has to acknowledge it by taking it seriously.  I would refuse to take it seriously and basically send a subtle message that he's being a baby. When you come home, don't discuss it and act as if nothing happened.  If he start again, pat him bum or kiss the top of his head and say, aww, honey are you jealous? You know that 70-year old would have big boots to fill, right? what do you want for dinner? and continue with your day.  Refuse to engage, refuse to give this hissy fit credit by taking it seriously.  If he continues, just say sternly that you're done talking about it and when that rod slides out of his bum, you'll be ready to talk.  Hopefully he'll get the message that when he tries to tantrum like this, he gets treated like a baby. You have the power to run this interaction. Don't give it up. [/quote]
