@4goakley, I can imagine his behavior upsets you more than him. It probably startles you, too. Are you able to let it go a little sooner each time? Is it happening more often?

Thank you, Colleen, for responding. We were out walking recently when a cyclist zoomed by too quickly on the pathway . My husband screamed "Idiot !! " I was embarrassed, but your advice to "let it go sooner" is excellent. Since he doesn’t remember his reaction, why should I dwell on it ?
I’m thankful for all the times he’s still gracious and caring.
Good luck to all those sharing these experiences.
