Dear Coleen,
I am troubled by my husband’s constant outbursts of anger, and I fear that divorce might be the only solution. Although he is not physically violent, his verbal aggression surfaces over trivial matters, leading to tense situations.
His anger is often projected onto external situations like road rage or interactions with neighbors, shop assistants, and service staff. I feel like I’m tiptoeing around him, afraid of triggering his temper, which has also impacted our social life negatively.
While he has always had a tendency towards anger, it has escalated with age. I have avoided confronting him to prevent further conflicts, but the situation is becoming unbearable. I seek your advice on how to address this issue.
Coleen says,
As people age, they may become less tolerant of annoyances, but your husband’s anger likely stems from deeper emotions such as fear or anxiety. It is crucial for him to introspect and understand the root causes of his constant agitation.
Having a candid conversation with him is essential. Express your concerns about living in a constant state of tension and make it clear that his behavior is unacceptable. Encourage him to seek professional help, such as counseling or anger management, to manage his emotions effectively.
Ultimately, he must be willing to acknowledge and address his anger issues for any progress to be made. If he disregards your concerns, you may need to make decisions that prioritize your well-being.
