Boyfriend’s mood swings

Just venting I guess but I would be happy to hear if someone else has come across this in case I am handling it really badly and am making things worse.

We have been together two years and most of the time things are really good and we are really happy, but every once in a while he just turns into an absolute nightmare for seemingly no reason at all. It happened again this week. Something happened in work (not even to him but to one of his employees) and he has gone from zero to one hundred and has not calmed down. The weekend has been a nightmare because he is absolutely obsessed with this work situation. I know that this will go on for a while and he will then fall into a slump after the adrenaline has worn off before he eventually re-emerges into “normality”.

I’ve tried reasoning as before but to no avail and I’m just ignoring it now because he is being somewhat aggressive and unable to or unwilling to listen to anyone. I just dread thinking what he acts like in work when he is back tomorrow. He has been like this before but this time I worry in case he acts like an idiot in work. I know that there is nothing I can do about it but I’m just so fucking frustrated after an exhausting weekend that didn’t have to be exhausting at all.

Sympathies. It isn’t something you can fix.

He needs to acknowledge the problem then get some CBT (which should be paid for by his work) as part of his route to becoming a better manager.
