post orgasim anger

[Eileen444]

My husband becomes very emotonally withdrawn and angry for about 36 hours after we have sex.  He doesn't interact well with myself or our son often barking orders, not communicating and withdrawing into his work.  This is repeated over and over again to the point where I am withholding sex for as long as possible to avoid this behaviour.  He denies that he acts any differently and thinks I am making this up.  Has anyone heard of this before?  Could it be hormonal?

Sounds like you maybe both need some counselling it does seem as if there are some resentments , have you talked to him about it, especially the anger ,not good in front of your son, he may be worried about something in your lives, these are difficult times we are living through, try talking it out with him telling him how you feel,if that doesnt work get that counselling .Good Luck

I think the experience is so powerful and moving for him that he has difficulty coming to grips with all of the emotions, so he stuffs them.  While concentrating on stuffing them, he becomes irritated by everyday things because it distracts him from the task of suppression.

My male coworker advises more sex for him on a regular basis so that he can learn to express these emotions rather than stuffing them.  Try to over-sex him and see what happens.
