Anyone having major anger outbursts with 75 year old DH?

Some people are just unhappy in themselves and have to have something to grumble about and someone to grumble at and criticise. I assume he’s retired. Does he have a lot of time on his hands? The “rejection thing”? Is that silent treatment? Mark of a manipulative bully. Do you have your own interests that you can pursue and leave him to his own devices?

Thanks! You’re helping

No it’s just with me. He’s sweetness and light to everyone else. I’ve been looking for symptoms but he really can control this if he chooses to. He won’t go to the gp because “there’s nothing wrong with” him. The children (now in their 40s) say he's always been bolshy, it just seems to be getting worse. Sounds pathetic doesn’t it? I do fight back (verbally) but he always has a mean, hurtful answer and can do the rejection thing for days and it really stresses me out.
Put up or shut up, I guess.....

Is he like it with just you or anyone he sees.?
If it's just you then I'd say he's just being a t#&t and you should tell I'm so but if it's anyone and everyone then I'd start taking note of other things that might not be quite right. Forgetfulness, repeating things over and over, uncaring about his personal hygiene, not being able to follow a tv show or a conversation (this could be where babbling comes in).
If other things are present then it's time for him to see his gp but if no other signs of anything then it's time for him to face some truths. Don't just put up with it.

If this is a new behaviour, then it could be an indication of something amiss with your Dh.

If it's a longstanding problem then you're a saint to have stayed with him!

It's not you, It's him. He is probably unhappy about growing older and can take it out on you. Whether this continues is up to you in a way. Do you put up with it or do you tell him firmly to stop. Whatever, it is NOT YOU!
