Okay, so, things have been kinda rough lately. My husband has been yelling at me a lot, and honestly, it’s been freaking me out. I needed to figure out what was going on, so I started, you know, digging around for some answers. And this is my road of recording.
My Action Journey
First, I tried talking to him directly. Like, “Hey, what’s up? You seem really stressed.” But that just made him more angry. He would shut down or yell even more, it’s very terrible. So, direct confrontation? Big fail.
Then, I started observing him more closely. I noticed he was super tense after work, especially after talking to his boss. He’d be clenching his jaw, pacing around, and just generally radiating bad vibes. It’s wired,right?
- Work stress seemed to be a major trigger.
- He wasn’t sleeping well. I could hear him tossing and turning all night.
- He was also skipping meals, which probably wasn’t helping his mood.
Next, I started doing some online research.I want to get help from the Internet. I’m not proud of this, but I even looked at his phone a couple of times (don’t judge!). I didn’t find anything concrete, but it confirmed my suspicion that work was a huge source of stress.I found many people sharing the same bad experince, but it didn’t help at all.
I decided to talk to a close friend about it. It felt good to just vent and get another perspective. She suggested that maybe he was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know how to express it. That actually made a lot of sense. It’s easy to understand, right?
So, instead of confronting him directly, I started trying to create a more relaxing environment at home. I cooked his favorite meals, made sure the house was tidy, and just generally tried to be extra supportive. I also suggested we watch some funny movies together, just to take his mind off things.
It wasn’t a magical fix, but I started to see small improvements. He yelled less, and sometimes he even opened up a little bit about what was bothering him. It was progress!
Finally,I encouraged him to talk to a therapist. I didn’t push it too hard, but I just gently suggested that it might be helpful to talk to a professional about his stress. He hasn’t taken me up on it yet, but I’m hoping he * fact, I found it is not useful at all.
It’s still a work in progress, but I feel like I’m finally starting to understand what’s going on with him. And more importantly, I’m learning how to deal with it in a way that doesn’t make things worse. It’s been a tough journey, but I’m not giving up!
