Jacquelyn, let this be a wake up call for you to move on. In my lifetime I have had two dear friends who were married to men with "tempers" (among other issues), but both women chose to believe their men were harmless and just misunderstood. Sadly, they are both now in their graves at the hands of their "harmless" and "misunderstood" husbands. One of the men is still on death row, the other took his own life (murder-suicide) orphaning their two children.
