I am in a odd relationship with someone I adore. I say an "odd" relationship because we are technically best friends, but actions speak much louder than words, and he treats me (most of the time) like a girlfriend. This is something I have wanted for a very long time, but he was diagnosed with excessive explosive disorder as a child, so when he gets OVER stressed, or anxious, or upset, he goes from zero to 1000 in a millisecond. He has never physically harmed me, but the verbal abuse is just killing me!
This only occurs about 5% of the time.... and usually his anger is brought on by something I consider to be a very minor thing (like me texting him too much), or not listening to what he has said... making him repeat himself. Its like Jekyl and Hyde!
A VERY long story, but at this time he has basically told me he HATES me.
I know that it is never ok to treat me or talk to me in the manner that he has over this past several days...... but I still love him and I worry about him (mostly because I know how severe his anger can be, and he can get into trouble if he doesn't stop and cool off).
I can not contact him in fear that he will get enraged.
How long should I expect this episode to last? will he come around and reread the emails and texts and figure out how bad he has treated me?
Any suggestions appreciated. There were no chats available for his specific condition.

With this type of disorder, I guess it will take tons of adjustment on your part. How far are you willing to sacrifice, understand and tolerate him. You have already said that the verbal abuse is killing you. I guess since this is a personality disorder, the chances of him changing is very slim. So the question now is are you willing to sacrifice more for this relationship? If the answer is yes then prepare yourself for more emotional heartaches. Unless the guy takes control of himself, then your relationship is on the rocks, and sad to say it is you who will always be at the giving end. If you are ready for this set up then go on with the relationship.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
