Stress or what?

Hi there, this is my 1st post and I really hope you guys can help me. I should start to say that me and my partner of 2 years are having a baby and there is t long to go. Just in the last week he's been turning everything I say into an argument. And he's been swearing at me and acting out. He won't hurt me, but I do get intimidated when he gets angry. He'll punch things. And he gets angry at everything! I asked him if he wanted a second helping of dinner the other night and he responded by asking weather I thought he was an "effing pig or something". My minds running in circles all the time because I'm trying to do things in a way that wouldn't annoy or upset him, or just make things run smoother. I have tried talking to him about it but he just denies it all or asks me if I think he's crazy. I really want this to blow over but it seems to be getting worse. I don't want to be an emotional wreck of a mother, and I don't want to fight anymore. Please help?

There is obviously something that is stressing him out. It doesn't take a lot from punching things in anger to punching people in anger. From what I can perceive, your man has some inner turmoil within himself and he isn't letting it out in a mannered way. Usually when we abuse someone, its because we feel this need to make someone else feel bad as they do. There have been many cases of domestic violence in our society today and if left untreated in the early stages like it is right now, it can escalate into something very horrible. You and your partner really need to meet a councilor or some sort of social worker to handle things out. Don't try to combat this on your own. Bring friends, family, and professionals into this.
