You see, he has anger issues, can't seem to handle even the minor things in life (such as bills) and cannot even handle me venting or even talking about my problems. Therefore, I'm starting to feel really alone and I'm afraid I'm falling out of love with him. I've lost count how many times I've had to calmly explain things to him and how much literature I've given him on my mental condition and how much advice I've given HIM on how to be a calmer person (since I'm pretty much a calm person and just tend to get sad-- not angry). I feel like I also have to censor myself at all times cuz everything I say (even if it's a joke) offends him. Honestly, I feel like I'm dealing with a child, I am so exhausted (mentally) . Help!

If he gets angry about bills, that's going to be a long, dramatic life with him! Other people's uncontrolled anger is definitely exhausting and bills are a normal routine part of life. No reason to get angry about them because they will be there one way or the other. It sounds like he really needs to get help for his anger problems.
