Are there any times that you are home by yourself and he's not there. Maybe you could get out and do something simple like take a walk by yourself. Or, take a long bath. Relax and get in touch with just you.

Sounds like you have some outside stressors that carry in to your relationship. But, also, I think we all go through this at one point or another.

Tones stink. Tones can get you in all kinds of trouble. I TOTALLY GET THAT! I know just how you feel! Tones can %#@&#! me off quicker than words!!!!

I would start trying to control my tones and when he says something that the tone really bothers you.....take 10 breaths and then express to him in a monotone that way that the way he said it really hurt your feelings.

May not work for you but, just a suggestion.

Hope things get better!
