My fiance is a very kind person but I’ve noticed he is angry alot faster since money has been VERY tight for us. Things upset him so fast that I feel like I walk on eggshells sometimes.

I’ve thought this and I wonder if it’s because of the societal pressure on men to provide so when money is tight they are very touchy on it and considering it a personal failure

It’s probably due to the stress.

It’s not just men. Finances can be very stressful. I notice that in myself when I’m in a tight spot. I’ll do what I can to stay calm, but sometimes it’s very frustrating.

Yes and it’s because of stress. Most people are stressed when money is tight, men more so because they are supposed to be providers. Mix that feeling with men not being great at communicating and opening up about feelings and you get someone who is quicker to anger.
