Interesting.
This is an example of how you assume everything is a put down, even when it's not meant that way at all..

He has a perfect relationship with his wife, and they have never had even one argument in over 10 years of marriage. Besides, she inherited money.

I think he lied about having a perfect marriage to make me think my problems with him are my fault.

If you are both just butting heads that can be shared fault.

If he is angry raging at you that cannot be your fault.

He has been hard to get along with from the beginning. He got angry at stupid little things, but it happened more often in email.

When he is not angry, he tends to be very friendly and very talkative. Maybe more nice than what is normal. And then suddenly, something makes him mad.

I have even wondered if he could have slight dementia? But then, he would have problems with his wife also, not just me.

He has confided in me a lot about being unable to get along with his ex, his son, his step daughter. So I am definitely not the only person he has trouble getting along with.

He is not the kind of person who tries to get perspective and see things from the other person's side. I do that all the time, but he doesn't. I have tried to convince him to get along with his son, and I think maybe he took some of my advice.

He and his ex-wife have a severely disabled daughter, so they have to communicate. I have tried to convince him to see his ex-wife's point of view on some things. He does not do this naturally.

Who knows what makes people hot tempered with anger issues. But it is no fun to be around.

He says it's healthier to express anger than hold it in. I very much disagree. It might make you feel better to express anger, but it makes everyone around you feel worse. And it hurts you eventually because your relationships are damaged.

Is it possible that he gets angry at me because I am obviously not at all attracted to him? Does it hurt his ego that, even though he is already married, women don't all fall for him?

He does have an unrealistic sense of his own attractiveness.
