RomanceClass.com AdviceYou could say that he's under stress and is taking it out on you - but on the other hand how someone acts under stress is CRITICAL for any long term relationship. It is the way you truly find out what someone is about. If his solution to problems is to abuse you emotionally and mentally, that is a really really bad sign.
I would call a timeout with him and tell him that you are treating him with respect and deserve the same treatment. If he cannot do that, then you will wait for him to be able to. See if he puts in the effort or if he just treats you like his punching bag. If he does, then politely hang up. You can't change another person - but you don't have to take that abuse.
