My husband gets annoyed about everything I say

My husband and I have been in a stressful situation for a year. We decided to move and set up a homestead a year ago. We had some bad luck and had to move a few times. It’s been pretty stressful. He gets so angry and frustrated with me when I’m stressed and worried. He doesn’t understand at all that I sometimes need to vent. He’s very sensitive to rejection as well and sometimes I just need to be alone for a while to process things. Lately he’s been getting mad because I want things to finally move forward, I want us to make a decision so that we can settle, I want the stress to be over because it’s really taking it’s toll on me. He thinks I’m just being difficult and demanding. I just feel that I can’t keep going like this. I’m starting to wish it were just me so I could just do what I need to do to get on with my life. Arguing about every little decision is currently adding stress and making me exhausted.

Were these moves etc his idea.? .. and now that it is not working as planned could he just be defensive because you might have solutions to somethings and he is worried about being wrong ? .... Y

es the stress and argument is just draining and while couple should be on board together it happens that one person get defensive and dismissive when their plan is not working... perhaps if both can put down their guard and say " lets brainstorm and see what options we have "   

OFTEN i have to drop hints and let my partner believe it was "his idea" instead of saying "hey i would do this " and him rejecting it because the idea is valid .... although frustrating sometimes letting them save their pride is worth it.
