I started dating an old friend from college. It's been about 10 years since we have seen each other. So far things are going very well. However, I am a little concerns about the little things he gets angry over. If someone cuts him off, he's pissed for hours. He has a toddler with his ex gf....now she's engaged and there is a new guy in the picture..essentially replacing him as the kids father. He always seems to let this guy get the best of him.

He has never exhibited anger toward me, and I'm not worried about that....but I do worry about it getting to him...his blood pressure, etc. He's a cop, too...so he's used to working with force, violence, etc.

I guess I'm just wondering how to handle this, and if its worth sticking around to see if it's going anywhere. I know that essentially, only I can answer that, but I'm open to suggestions. I have talked to him about it, telling him that it's not worth getting upset about, to see if he can try and let things go, etc. He knows I'm concerned for him and his health. How healthy can this be for him, long term?
