I think WE'RE triggering to them! I think it's stressful being in a relationship with an MI person because you worry about them, want them to get better, etc., and sometimes men aren't very good at expressing their emotions, or they don't want to tell us we're stressing them out out because they're worried that will trigger US, etc., and then when they do let out their emotions it can be in an explosive way because they've been holding back, and, well, that's just my experience.
