DH has flipped help

Please give me some advice.

My wonderful DH (together 13 years, married 10) has always been my rock. Calm, kind, sensitive.

To ight he co.pletely lost it with DS on a night when DS was already vulnerable and needing mummy for other reasons. He shouted and I've never heard him shout before.

I'd been looking forward to him coming home as he'd texted me earlier to say he'd bought ingredients to make me dinner. I thought we'd have a lovely night. But he's been foul since he got home.

Jus now he lost it again, ranting about how he's a bad father (he's not). But I've never ever seen him like this before and I'm a bit scared to be honest.

He is always so calm. He's been looking awful for a purple of weeks, very thin and gaunt and I've been asking him to go to the doctor. I don't know what to do.

Any tips?

He sounds very stressed.

No more, no less.

Bit worried about this. How did they escalate?

Diabetes? My ex husband started being unbelievably foul tempered as well as thin and very thirsty. He isn't an ex because of this btw

Well thats a bit of progress, but you may have to keep the pressure on him most men are notourious for not seeking medical help they think its a weakness as well as being scared as to what they might hear!

And as another posted suggested off to go with him for moral support.

I once was expecting some bad news and my now ex wife was there Always remember her for that!

Make sure you go to the Doc's with him.

How did things escalate, OP?

OP, if he is going to relate to his GP your experience of the other night and how out of character it was and your suspicion that he might have diabetes or some other medical condition, good. If you are not sure how he will present his symptoms to the GP it might be worth contacting the GP with your concerns. His GP cannot discuss confidential matters with you but they can listen to what you say and keep it in mind when investigating what might be going on.

Just be aware that even if he has diabetes he might not get treated until he is skin and bone.

Dp was a 17.5 stone beefy rower and within a matter of months went down to 9stone.

I seriously urge you to go with him to the doctor's.

Is he home now?

Are you ok?

Let us know what happens after the doctor visit, OP?
