Are you so sure it's just stress?
Not to get all personal anecdoty on you, but my uncle was like that after he got married. It was the constant pressure to be a husband, to have a family and provide for them. He worked all sorts of odd hours, slept irregularly and the like. He used to go from hot to cold and back at the flick of a switch. One minute he'd be telling a joke and laughing the next yelling because someone put a fingerprint on his glass coffee table. Everyone thought it was just stress, but he went to the family doctor, referred to therapy and was diagnosed bi-polar. They put him on some medication and he's been fine ever since.
The doctor told his wife that anger due to stress is one thing, it's quite another to have recurring flashes of irrational anger.
I normally hate to suggest this, but maybe it's time to think about the pharmacological solution.
