Arguing during stressful times in a relationship

Me and my partner generally get along really really well, however, when he is going through a stressful period we inevitably end up having huge arguments.
We have been together for a few years now and I can attribute every big argument to something big happening in his life. He just becomes intolerable - he has no ability to manage stress. If it makes any difference, he has recently diagnosed ADHD. Those with ADHD partners, do you find the same? Simply incapable of managing anything stressful? I find it so difficult, because I love him and want to be with him for the long run but I worry how our relationship will manage when real hardships inevitably happen (such as his parents passing away ect)

Try couples counselling. Safe place to share what is going on and learn new skills to communicate. Also about putting in health weekly conversations even when life is good so that as you meet weekly and these stresses are building your partner is in the loop and it doesn't come out of nowhere.
A proactive partner is what you need and what you need to be. Counselling helps open up communication.
