Hi Welcome. Sorry that your'e having problems with your husband. May i ask if this has been going on for a while or just recently. Sometimes mood changes can be through stress related issues, health problems, depression etc. Unless he is willing to be helped there's not much anyone can do, sometimes if a person is in denial with the issues at hand they may refuse help. It may be good for you to go and talk to your family dr, someone that you feel okay to talk to and mention to them the problems that you are having. Take care we have a great support group here and I/other members are more than willing to help if we can. Piglit
