This is NOT a usual state for me. I'm just so freakin' angry at my wife right now....

And where do I put this anger? Bottle it up? Swallow it? I'm not going to yell like an asshole. I'm not going to punch things like a macho prick. I'm a mature, reasonably healthy adult who is angry and has no place to put it.

I wish someone would try to mug me right now. They'd never f'ing know what hit them.

i punch things when i am angry, does that make ME a macho prick?

*gentle hugs*

Do you want me to come and try to mug you? I'm tough, I can take it!

deleted_user 06/02/2008

Hey Alph- you can put it with me! I won't take it personal at all

deleted_user 06/02/2008

deleted_user 06/02/2008

deleted_user 06/02/2008

Actually, sometimes.... I go outside, get in my car, shut the doors... and just SCREAM! At the top of my lungs.
It really helps!

man I scream, yell, throw things, punch things and if I am angry enough I will go out and target practice to let off steam . man i am violent aren't I

Hey I used to do all those things too. But no more. TOO COSTLY> now I just walk away. Alphonsus I tell my kids when they are angry with their spouses they should Kiss them passionately for 3 minutes. At first it is a little uncomfortable but after a minute or so you forget why you are angry and the love you feel for her will come pouring back. Give it a try. Never hurts

i guess that makes us all macho pricks..lol

Alphonsus, you didn't say why you are so angry with your wife. Are you able to talk to her without yelling and screaming at one another? Anger can tear you apart inside. Pent up amger can cause you to do something you would not want to do. If you can't talk to your wife can you talk to someone else? Without knowing the reason of your anger I feel that I am grasping at straws.

let it all out here, we will listen to you and when you are done, you will feel better.

this is what i do...go to my journal and write whatever is in my head...i curse and say awful things, i write all the things i want to say. then i lock it so that no one can read it but me. then i read it over and over til it makes no sense anymore.

Everybody has things they do to let off the steam. I think a lot of us guys love to expend huge amounts of energy. There was a day when we could go out and split logs for an hour or two. Now that can tire you out!

The snow has melted, or you could go up to Mamaluv and dadyluv's house and shovel snow for them. From my limited experience, that can really let you work things out!

I agree with McG... some time hitting and kicking a heavy bag could work wonders!

So take your pick. Just don't let anybody take pictures!

If you want to vent to others, you have a huge list of friends who will listen, respond if you like, or just simply listen.

Hugs to you.

I know you as a gentleman, do what I do, write it down and the read it and if when calmer it sounds unreasonable burn it and let it go with the smoke
