I think therapy could maybe help on how to handle stress better and how not to escalate an argument into divorce or break up talk. There got to be some strategies for him and you both as a couple. Everyone has arguments but why is it always so bad. I hope you can have an appointment soon
Yes, he’s sober when he says these things. and I agree with you about therapy and also his lack of control. I mean, really? Things escalated yesterday into an enormous fight simply because I asked about his stress and how he’s feeling?!?! Unacceptable.
