I would like to know if there is a mood disorder that can make someone get mad at the drop of a hat. I walk on eggshells, fearing that I will do something or say something that he finds irritating...and I will get the silent treatment or get a lecture on how I screwed up, followed by the cold shoulder. Someone told me in the beginning of our relationship, that I deserve "Sainthood" for living with this guy. No one that I introduce him to has ever liked him, and they can't figure out why I let him talk down to me. Oh, by the way, he is a very brilliant, successful man, and he has never been abusive to me. Someone in his family thinks that he is just so brilliant that he becomes frustrated when we with a normal IQ don't see his side. He has been called an A__hole by at least a dozen people that I know of. Is there a diagnosis for being an a-hole? Can it be helped? I wonder if smoking pot can make him this way...... HELP!
OH, the reason I am still here is because when he isn't in one of his moods, he is very sweet, loving, and almost childlike and giddy. It's like living with jeckel & Hyde, but the mood swings too quickly to be a Bipolar disorder.
