   neutral   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.     neutral   Maybe it ’ s just that he is stressed out from work or something. He does have a pretty nerve wracking job you know.  
    neutral   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.     neutral   Men are like that you know.They can feel nervous, anxious or on edge and the only way they can express it is by trying to hide it through aggressiveness.  
    neutral   I guess you are right. What do you think I should do? He wasn ’ t always this grouchy you know...     neutral   
 Well, maybe you could ask around your department for some suggestions. Somebody might be having similar trouble
 Why don ’t your go see an MD for his irritation, stress and maybe even
