I just got off the phone with my boyfriend. He is always getting upset and losing his temper over nothing. It’s so hard to talk to him at times.

Maybe it’s just that he is stressed out from work or something. He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know.
a
Yeah but, he is always in a really foul mood. I try to find out what’s bothering him or get him to talk about his day but, he always shuts down and brushes me off.

Men are like that you know. They can feel ner- vous, anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through ag- gressiveness.
a
I guess you are right. What do you think I should do? He wasn’t always this grouchy you know...
b
Talk to him, try to cheer him up when he is down and if that doesn’t work, I say get rid of him and get a new one!
