What do you guys do about your anger problem??? I'm finding that my anger is starting to get in the way and my main target is my boyfriend. I get mad at him over nothing and I know I'm hurting him. He keeps telling me that he wishes he could find someone that wasn't mad at him all the time and was happy with him, but he says that he stays with me because he loves me and knows that it'll get better. It makes me feel so bad. I'm very happy with him but I know I get mad too and its over dumb stuff. I thought about doing a workshop come January to see if that helps me out. Any ideas? Thoughts?
Thanks

" I think that you should just find a new way to channel you anger. Try to make the best out of when you get angry. Writing helps too just try to focus on something other than what angers you.

Good Luck

" When you feel yourself getting upset at him, you have to think about it and walk away. Don't feel the need to fuel any fires, just go into another room and sit and think or do something constructive until you hash it out with yourself. It doesn't matter if it takes one hour or five minutes. Let him know what is going on, explain to him you don't want ot hurt him and you are working on your problem. Promise him it will get better and tell him what you are trying to do to fix it. Remember, we all take our worse out on the most we love. I do the same thing, more in the past than now. I know it sucks. "

" luckynili's points are well taken.And of course excercise is good. but I have seen first hand that too much working out is only an excape. I have found that many men want to control women. And being passive/ aggressive myself I have tryed not to rock the boat.Only to carry around a bag on my shoulder of things that have made me angry, until the one day that the smallest thing put into that bag, Makes it burst. Like the old saying " the straw that broke the camels back." My man would not talk to me,refused marriage counseling, so either find friends or go to a group. "
