I found this to be true in our arguments. Hubby's anger was really just fear for me because he cared so much for me.
Husband's sometimes aren't very good at expressing these feelings. But they're good at expressing anger. So if you can address his outburst something like this....well, this is what's set my husband on I back on a calm track:
"I know you're angry because you care so much about me and you're afraid that I'm hurting myself. I understand and I thank you for caring. But still, I feel disrespected by you when you raise your voice at me, even though you do it because you care and want me to stop hurting myself. Please, I wish you wouldn't raise your voice with me."
Just don't say he's "yelling" because that will start another argument because they don't think they ever yell.
