Quote: I really feel that he is the one that has to learn to deal properly with his negative emotions and not make it my responsibility. When he is feeling negative towards me then he should tell me that is what is going on. When he is feeling negative about something else then he should tell me that. I will try not to do anything more than maybe give him a hug and tell him I am available if he want to talk it through, rather than trying to fix it for him. If it IS me he's pissed off with then I will try not to go for the throat as soon as he tells me what's wrong. I am going to have to sit him down and tell him this. He has to promise to try to differentiate who or what is causing his bad mood and try to leave me (or the kids) out of it when it is nothing to do with me.
Sounds like an excellent plan! We could probably all use a bit of this.
