How do you ignore a grown man when they are really being ugly for no reason?

How do you ignore someone that you really love and care about when they are being mean to you for no reason. This is a grown man. I think he maybe going thru male menopause...no joke. Does anyone have experience with a very moody man, that lashes out on you? He will eventually apologize but I really think its mean.

Update:

for the record im not leaving him for that. no he is not on drugs or drinking, he is just moody and lashes out. trying to see how others deal with this in a serious way not childlike..

Update 2:

these are all good answers please keep them coming. counseling is out...trust me. saw the movie fireproof.he would not admit to any wrong on his part, you cant change what you dont acknowledge.

    A person with a mood problem is like a human roller coaster. One minute he's up, the next minute he's down. And he never seems to be able to get off the ride. His mood swings are intense, sudden and out of control.

    Wrong diagnosis has 59 causes for mood swings! http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/symptoms/moodiness/c...

    It can range from physical ailments to stress and anxiety (who isnt stressed out right now about our countrys future economy!) and so many many other things.

    Im so impressed you are so strong about not leaving him! Power to you sista!!! Take him to see the movie Fireproof! and check out:

    and google midlife crisis

    good luck hon!!!

    I too well know what you mean, & I call it misplaced anger. He

    could be angry about something/someone, & takes it all out on you instead. This is not a very happy way to have to live. After awhile, the "I'm sorries" start to wear quite tying & eventually mean nothing because you know he's just going to keep doing It so why even bother saying I'm sorry, All the damage is already done, the hurt felt, can't be chged., so don't go & tell me you're sorry when you know darn rite well you're going to do it again at some point in time. I've had it done, that's how I too well know how it feels. I'd rather they live w/the guilt than to keep saying things just to eleviatr theirs. Of course we can do one if two things, say something about it, or just keep taking it. The choice is yours. Best to you...:)

    My husband's son is like that (he's a 30-year-old, married man, BTW). He'll say the meanest, rudest, most hurtful things to me, and then he'll cry, tell me he loves me sooooo much, and apologize. You can't just ignore behavior like that. Is it your husband who's acting like this? How old is he? He needs to seek some counseling or he'll drive you nuts pretty soon. I think you need to get away for a while, maybe spend less time together or avoid being in the same room with him if possible, until he accepts the fact that he's ruining your relationship and needs help controlling his temper. Write him a letter telling him how you feel and how he's behaving, since he doesn't seem to realize what he's doing on his own.

  • Counseling helps, but they usually won't admit they have a problem.

    WARNING: His moodiness will only increase and his little lashing out is going to grow into full violence.

    Sooner or later you are going to end up in the emergency room because he has beat the "crap" out of you...He will apologize and promise not to do it again, but he will repeat this pattern, over and over again.

    You can't ignore this. It is indicative of mental illness or at best a chemical imbalance. My advice is to get him to a Dr. and get him checked out for that.

    Meds could help.

    he sounds like he has low self esteem, and is very insecure, talk about immaturity, and it doesn't matter what age he is, he wants you to have a low self esteem to, so he makes you feel rotten, i'll bet he knows how to push your buttons, i hate to tell you this but thats called mental cruelty, he is not a very nice person, i feel for you. don't let him bring you down to his level, you seem smarter than that

    I don't deal with it -I ignore it and then if that doesn't work I find his credit card and get myself something really nice.

    My husband! Just kidding. lol

    You have to understand he must be miserable and has to reflect that on others to make him feel better about himself.
