damn sound like how i used to be.. yeah this is hard. me and my wife talked about how i used to be. sometime it's best just leave him alone. but it wouldn't hurt for him to get therphy. or go and take anger managment. what he put into it, he'll get so much more out of it.

Thank you for responding,it is good to hear from a mans point of view,and yeah he says to leave him alone when he's like that,but i just feel like shaking him and yelling stop.

see with me i found out i was bipolar. and i was post manic depress as well. so if he say to leave him alone, i would give him his space he needs. but it won;t hurt for him to check out, there is now some good meds that will help with his angar. once i got started with help i found myself working on lot other issues i had. now i don't get mad or anger that much. here are some signs he or you can look for. does he have high days and low days. high days he's in a good mood, lows mad and depress.

You need to be careful. My ex-boyfriend had the same problems at least they started out that way. He then started threatening me with words and the day he pushed me was the day I left. I truly believe it would have ended with a lot worse if i had not left, Please Please be careful.

That's terrible,good for you for leaving,but i know for sure he would'nt touch me,he just doesnt know how to verbalize how frustrated he is i think,and thats why he will hit the wall,because the pain makes his feeling go away,or so he thinks.

I am no professional but I would think he needs anger management or some kind of therapy. and as others have said, please be careful. Alot of times behavior that starts out like this soon leads to domestic violence.

My husband does not punch things but he is impatient and that results into losing his temper. Example, if he is talking to a client on the phone, and if the person is not understanding what he is saying, he will start yelling back at the person. I tell him all of the time that is rude, and I do not understand how people what to do business with him. If I ask him a question and he think I am being negative, he will yell the answer to me. That is why I do not like discussing things with him, because if you do not see it the way he does, he flares up. Grumpy man!!!!

Lol,maybe it is just "men" in general,idk...it's very frustrating trying to tell him how he is cuz he doesn't see it.
