Guys are not perfect and they have bad days. So my question would be, is his jerkiness a long-term problem, or temporary problem? Is he able to talk about it and fix it? Or not?
If this is a long-term problem that needs fixing, he should be open to talking about it and fixing it. He needs to man up and admit he's wrong, if he really is wrong.
I have a long time interest in psychology, specializing in relationship dynamics for 30 years.
