He tells me I am over the top and he can't tread on egg shells. I never get angry or raise my voice just get more upset than usual if he criticizes me or is in a bad mood. I don't feel like this with anyone else. He says when I am emotional it annoys him and he can't be around me. We are both 35 and my son has left home so there is little stress in our lives. I think its the way he reacts to me which makes me more upset. It's like a vicious cycle. I have had blood tests and my GP says everything is normal and that his wife and lots of women are the same as we tend to be more emotional than men. Any ideas. Se are happy apart from this.

This is hypocritical. Try doing some exercise and getting out and meeting some friends instead of crying and bringing his mood down as well as your own. I think you're being unfair

 I guess your boyfriend just cant handle emotions very well. I guess a lot of men are like this. If they see someone crying it scares them because they dont know what to do and it just makes them angry at the person and feel uncomfortable.
I guess there is not a lot you can do in this situation because you both cannot change who you are. I guess maybe you should both come to an agreement when you are upset maybe you should go in to another room and be alone for a good cry and maybe he could meet you in the middle by being kinder to you when you have PMT.
