My husband is having these wicked mood swings where he is cursing and calling me names one min and fine 15 mins later. The things he says are juvenile and crude which makes me think its some sort of nervous breakdown.....but then again, it seems to only happen when we are in the car or alone behind closed doors...so it could be manipulation....unless he's got it pent up just waiting for the opportunity.....what do you think? I can't imagine I would ever get him to go to a MH clinic. He denies the awful things he says/does even though I once taped him.....

Sounds like your husband is bi polar. If he recognizes his problem and wants help, it is a controllable disorder. That is the problem though.
I am really concerned for you, because this will probably just get worse. My husband is bipolar, doesn't take his meds right, if he takes them at all... he is exactly like what you have described. Except alot lot, worse. It can be treated and I hope that maybe he will get help for your sake, his, and your marriage.
I would go see a counselor yourself, let them know what is going on and see what they advise you to do.
Do not allow the abuse to continue... this is abuse. Tell him you are going to see a counselor, and why and see what his reaction is.

I sure jwould get him to a doctor. I have seen this kind of thing in my family over the years and it always turned out to be something causing it.
I remember many years ago when young my great uncle was that way and finally they put him in a home and after agout a week he no longer did this. He came home and in a few days he started again.
Back to the nome ad it stoped again. I turned out that it was what he was eating. I don't rememver just what it was all about byt my aunt changed the way she cooked and he was alright after that. This was at least fifty years ago so hard toremember it all.
Most likely there is something going on tha should not be. See the doctor.

If he denies he did that, and if he is verbally abusive one minute and fine the next, he really does need to be evaluated. If he refuses to be evaluated and seek treatment, if it is needed, then tell him you are out the door. You shouldn't have to deal with the put downs and name calling. Verbal abuse will turn into physical sooner or later if he doesn't get help. If you have kids, they definitely don't need to see their dad treat their mom this way. And if he treats you this way, what's to stop him from doing the same to the kids?

You just may have to enroll him in some anger management classes. Who knows one day that arguing could lead to something so much worse. Look into counseling too for the benefit of the both of you.

My guess is that he is bi-polar and/or abusing alcohol or drugs. I think the tape idea is a good one. If he is confronted with it several time it will hopefully be a wake up call for him.

If he can choose the time of his outburts, he's not mentally ill. He sounds manipulative to me.
