My boyfriend is temperamental- finds it difficult to simply "go with the flow". He can overreact and get upset over little things when he is stressed out or struggling with some deeer issue. His temper usually comes out as the silent treatment and sometimes in raising his voice. We are always able to talk about the issue after he cools down.

I know that this is a difficult trait to deal with but I do wish my family would let me deal with it on my own instead of telling me to leave him. Especially my sister and him have stated that they can't stand each other and don't want to spend any time together.
