I think that having boyfriends or husbands at home for the holidays is a stressor for many women. Remember that we are with you and that this, too, will pass. I hope that bf is not abusive to you in any way, which is entirely another story from "driving me nuts". If not, then I am sure he has his good qualities and perhaps you can concentrate on being grateful to have someone at home who can swing a hammer without holding it at the top, when you are at your "nuttiest" from having him underfoot.
