My husband's bullying

Question: I think my husband has an anger problem. He loses his temper every week. He yells at me and curses about small matters such as leaving a light on or putting something on the wrong shelf or leaving the top off the milk bottle. 

How can I get him to address his anger problem- or is this normal behaviour? We have only been married 6 months.

Reply: Sounds like you both need to have a chat with a marriage guidance counsellor. 

Now is the time to do it before things settle down in this route forever, too!

It's likely that his high expectations of married life didn't include things like having to negotiate and compromise and share duties! That's why I suggest that you address it as a joint issue rather than as his problem.
