Was I out of order?

DH and I always, always see things completely differently.

He’s self confessed as being a fairly angry/explosive person. Unfortunately the net result is I can be edgy and respond (poorly) to when he has an outburst by being quite distant for a couple of days (depending on the severity of the out burst) - while I repair

He can’t tolerate the distance I can’t tolerate the outbursts. He feels there’s no room for him to be himself.

recently I bought him a pot of CBD oil and gave it to him and said that it might help take the edge off of life for him.

Needless to say, he didn’t respond well. He said I’m trying to change him and that I should love him for who he is.

Our AUD son takes it and it has been profound with his anger so I thought I was being kind. But DH said I was insinuating there’s something wrong with him.

So he thinks he has a right to explode and swear and intimidate you. What a selfish arsehole.

Why are you with someone who clearly doesn’t want to be with you ? Or even like you ?
