Anyone else’s capacity for bullshit just gone right down?

I’ve had issues with DH for a couple of years at least with the way he speaks to people, in particular the children and occasionally myself. He’s quick to anger, snaps, is arsey in response, just often generally unpleasant.
Earlier this year, it got very unpleasant and I was getting to the point of wondering how on earth we would fix it. But, we both had a slight break from work and things seemed to be improving.
He’s recently been on a trip away with work for a fortnight and since he’s come home I just feel like I’ve totally lost all patience for all this fucking attitude. I think the house was so peaceful and pleasant when he was away, I’m resenting stepping on egg shells again. Because of this, EVERY single time he makes an unpleasant comment or his attitude is shitty or whatever, I’ve called him out on it.
He’s unimpressed, and reckons he can’t do anything right. But actually, I think he just hates that I’m not letting him get away with it anymore.
I don’t really know what to do; I want us to get on, but he’s turning into a really grumpy old man with a total sense of humour failure, with no patience and at worst, aggressive. Maybe I just want the man I met 8 years ago back Sad

It's vey telling that you enjoyed time apart. You also sound assertive and capable in that you are able to speak up clearly about the comments / attitude you don't like.

Are you able to have a frank talk? You're not happy and the situation / his attitude needs to change or you go your separate ways?

Maybe he knows on some level that his attitude sucks. Could he be depressed? But it sounds like you've had enough and life is to short ..... x
