My poor guy is crabbier than hell. I have kept him well fed, but it doesn't seem to do the trick. I am calling on all men out there to tell me what to do and I know sex is an answer too, but is there anything in addition to this you guys wish for when work/life is stressing you out?

Both rich food and sex can cure a cranky man.

the book Men are from Mars women are from Venus says........a man's primary needs are....loving trust, acceptance, appreciation, admiration, approval, and encouragement. ..... and they need a cave to go to, to call their own, where they can think.
I join in when Crabby Pants is yelling and cursing everyone else driving on the same street as him. I cheer him on and after a while, he realizes what a jerk he's being. I kinda give his cussing them out a few, "YEAH! How DARE you drive down the same street and go about your business in a normal way! (Crabby Pants) is driving on this street so GTF outta tha way, mofo!"
It's either that or.....get tha gun!

If he doesn't want to talk about his stressors, I'd leave him alone for a few days to work it through. Sometimes a concerned spouse hovering around creates even more stress.

I'm reading that book right now as my husband and I are in marriage counseling and I thought it couldn't hurt to get more input.
I laughed when I first read about the need of a man to go off into his "cave" -- be left alone for a period of time to kind of defuse.
Sometimes we women want to "fix" things when we should just allow them to retreat. He'll come around. If not --- let us know all right? Then we go to Plan B. lol

When Trev is stressed, which isn't often, he tends to sit back and listen to his favourite music, and I just leave him to it, giving him his own space for a while. I try to be extra understanding and loving when we do talk, and he usually snaps out of it fairly quickly.
but is there anything in addition to this you guys wish for when work/life is stressing you out?
Yes.........................10 million dollars.
