My husband has the biggest temper tantrums and sulks like a child
DEAR DEIDRE: MY husband has the biggest temper tantrums and sulks just like a child.
The slightest thing will set him off. He throws or breaks things and then leaves the room, slamming the door behind him.
I am 34 and my husband is 36. We have been married for five years but I feel as though I am no longer in love with him.
I ran into an old friend in town recently. He is 37 and went to college with my older sister.
We had a talk over coffee and I told him everything about my unhappy marriage.
He suggested we meet again when we would have more time to speak.

He was so lovely and kind, reminding me how good it feels to be treated with consideration.
I can’t stop thinking about this man. I have tried to talk to my husband about his outbursts once and thought I had got through to him.
But his behaviour only improved for a week and he was back to normal. I am so unhappy.
DEIDRE SAYS: This relationship is toxic. It is a miserable way to live so it is hardly surprising another man has turned your head.
It is time to face up to your husband and tell him you have had enough and won’t keep on living this way.
The way he behaves might be down to his past.
He will not find it easy to change – but you do not have to accept it.
