Just let him know how much you appreciate him and give him compliments. If he still feels upset, try to give him a little space.

Try to put things into perspective if he is ready to talk. Help him focus on what he currently has in his life and the things that are going well for him. Practice gratitude to help him see the positive.

He may not be in the mood to talk at this time.Try to contact him through text and let him know that you are there for him when he is ready to talk. Also, if you don't hear back from him within a reasonable about of time, you may want to consider visiting him in person or calling a mutual friend. Make sure he is safe and check up on him as well.

Question

Why is my bf always so angry and yells at me and curses me out?

Community Answer

If your boyfriend takes his anger out on you, that's not healthy. You might consider asking him to get help or ending the relationship. You shouldn't be his punching bag.
