When did this start?
I am wondering if he at one point was happy with his business and that was his drive/focus? If work is slow due to the changing economy & he sees his career at a standstill after putting many years into it, maybe he is feeling trapped in a dead-end situation.
I know for me, my focus is home/family so I can take my career issues in stride, but when things are going on at home, that's another story. For my husband, his focus/drive is his work and when that's not going well, he gets pretty down.
If his outbursts are all related to work/finances, maybe try talking to him about his career. Not how to get the bills paid or make more money, but ask him how he's feeling about his business and future in it and whether he's happy with it or thought of either doing something else or changing the direction of his business, etc. Let him know you are supportive and see if he will open up about what is really bothering him. He just might feel to pressured with work/finances and is not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. If he sees you are supportive and open to his ideas, you both may find a way to make sacrifices/compromises in your current situation & be happier in the long run.
