ARGH! I hate when people say they are so stressed out over little things. If the garbage piling up bothered him...simple solution ...take it out. If the dishes bothered him well then wash them. Ya know as a family some times you can just have busy days. Or heavy homework days.
And oh my word he is a physchologist and his answer to anger is to throw perfectly good items away in a fit of rage. And why is it that if he keeps complaining he is so darn tired that he keeps training. If he is so tired he could sleep even more during all that time he spends training.
I just don't get it about the tired thing all the time. Then to make you feel bad about not feeling well. Karen I would really consider having another child with this man period. First these outbursts of rage every couple months is not good for any child to have to witness. They learn that they can get older and react the same way they see their parents react. Another thing is naturally when you have a baby you are tired and wore out and need help. He is complaining over one cotton picken day that you may have needed some help. Imagine being sick pregnant or when you have to stay at the hospital a couple days. Or when you are sore and can't do much after birth.
Another thing about these episodes that happen every couple months. I am not a doctor so can't say for sure. But I had a cousin who acted the same way and he was manic depressive.
Sorry if I am negative to much. I am just feeling a little angry for you. I just can't imagine a grown man who is a mental health professional, mind you, acting out in this way.
I think it sounds like you have a good plan. Let him chase you whenever he gets to feeling he has missed you. Work on yourself girlfriend. Try not to get to down.
