My husband of 25 years seems to be continually stressed and his loud/agitated tone when he disagrees with anything makes me upset and drained, and is affecting our daughters mental health.
He seems to attach a higher level of importance to certain things than most people do, for example today not being notified verbally of when our daughters visitor left the house (we messaged him as it was more discreet). She has anxiety and thought her dad would adapt his approach especially as she had a panic attack yesterday.
He seems reluctant to face feedback where someone understands the point he makes but refuses to accept his poor manners, is often loud and critical when I need a more gentle approach, particularly during treatments . He has been critical recently during several emergencies (flat tyre and recovery vehicle, or a leaking window). I have had to deal with these on my own as he has been working away. He's more critical when I deal with things differently than he would.
All I am asking for is more consistent consideration - i understand he's stressed (about his business as well as my health). It's impacting my emotional well being and I can't handle this much longer!
I'm stage 4 BC metastasis in the spine, leg, pelvis, liver and sternum - and don't want to waste time with this behaviour any longer!
