Mantrum

"My hubby's there with his kinsmen. He loathes girls' night out—throws a mantrum every week. So I suppose I could go relieve his misery."

Sometimes mirroring the bully's behavior puts a stop to things. It certainly is worth a try. In the middle of one of his “mantrums,” mirror him back and watch what happens.

Before me, the turnover rate on his assistant's desk was about three months due to his daily mantrums.
