So who's footing the bills now that he's out? Does he have a job or looking for a job?
You could have dumped him as soon as the judge said four years in the big house but you waited patiently four years for the man you married. You are a good wife because I would sit his A$$ down, get into his head and see if he needs professional help and if he doesn't want help, I would tell him to sit his A$$ down and shut the hell up like he did when he was in the big house and now that he's out he wants to shift his weight around and raised his voice. Ask him did he do all this while in the big house, remind him how you stuck by him while he was locked up. I would let him know that if he doesn't get his $hit together he will be in divorce court.

If your are not enjoying your relationship then it is unhealthy and what I have learnt you shouldn't be with someone if it is unhealthy.!But don't take it of us just answering your question across the Internet, I think you should ask you friends/ family. But that's just a suggestion. I really do hope this helps a lot :)

THERAPY!
He must go, because he has anger issues that need to be managed. Everything he experienced during those 4 years are coming out in anger. He can't take it out on you, the one who waited for him!!! He should thank his lucky stars you are there waiting for him!
If he strikes you, leave. If he won't listen to reason and go for therapy, theaten to leave as you don't have to live like that. You deserve better after waiting all this time for him.
Good Luck and look after yourself.

What typical situation would usually provoke him to snap? In what way is he demanding of you? Its hard to give an insight without details.

Who KNOWS what hubby endured during his prison experience?
BUT, you would be a great wife if you encouraged him to seek professional help in looking at and addressing this anger problem.....
Good luck....
