That I was stupid and wouldn't amount to anything.

The first time my boyfriend and I got into a fight he tried to walk out on us without telling me why he was mad.  I put him in a leg lock on the floor for two hours (crying for about the first hour, then just pissed that he wouldn't talk for the second hour) until he softened up and we worked things out.\n\n3 years later he still says it was the best (but craziest) thing I ever could have done for us.

Anyone can become angry - that is easy, but to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way - that is not easy. ~ Aristotle

What else was going on at the time you felt angry?  Were you stressed that day?  Many people have anger issues.  You just need to learn your anger triggers.  What did you get angry about?  (Anger doesn't just come out of nowhere.)\n\nOnce you've learned your triggers, you can begin to develop coping skills for when you do get angry:  count to ten, walk away, deep breathing, etc etc.

Tell him. As a woman I know how easy it is for us to get into the classic withholding information/anger/feelings behavior, and say our favorite line when queried if something is wrong, "nothing". But men aren't stupid and they always know that "nothing" means "something", so instead of playing mind games about it, be honest and tell him - honestly. The key to any relationship is honesty. I am not talking about brutal, cut-his-throat honesty, as this will only make matters worse and make the argument bigger than what it is. I am speaking of the kind of honesty where you say something like this: "I am angry with you because I feel you did not ________ or "I feel you did _______ and this offended me." The key is to add "I feel" statements, rather than "You did" statements, as the latter puts the person on the defensive, and that will create another argument, though less intense than one generated by angry, blame and attack filled words.\n\nRemain neutral and calm. This is very, very hard to do in the heat of an argument. If the timing is not right and you are still too pissed off to tell him, address it at another time. You must remain calm and measured in your tone of voice. Be neutral and don't allow yourself to get emotionally plugged in to his reaction, which may be angry or defensive. If you have to, pinch yourself in the thigh to make sure that you remain calm and listen carefully to what he has to say!  Do not, no matter how hard you want to do this, interrupt.  If you feel that you are going to explode, then you need to excuse yourself and be alone for awhile. If you feel he is going to explode, you need to do the same.\n\nBeing honest and upfront about any anger induced situation (or anything for that matter) AT THE MOMENT IT HAPPENS is also key. Or, if not at that precise moment, later on in the day or a few hours later is also fine because it is still fresh in your combined memories. You know, as I do, that women tend to put off expressing their feelings (though not all women) and we allow cumulative anger to be built up inside of us until the tops of our heads want to blow off when we get angry. When we are triggered by the proverbial last straw, we explode and what was once a teeny, tiny stupidity, becomes a volcano, overflowing with lava! Everything he has ever done to you since you first met will be drawn out in single file and used as weapons, including the time when he looked at you the wrong way when you were tired. This is not productive. This not healthy for your relationship or YOU. Stress fouls up everything and makes you sick, so deal with things calmly and rationally when they happen. And as for those 5,000,000 things he did before? Let them go. If you didn't deal with them THEN, they are moot points now.  \n\nAs an aside, I am a patient sort who lets a lot of stuff roll off my back. However, at the same time, I have a very, very long memory and a temper when I am exceedingly provoked. When my hubby used to piss me off, I'd bring out the big guns and would go on the offensive. Every thing he ever did or said to me would come out, and the original thing that bothered me got lost in the emotional insanity. Not productive. Now? I tell him what I feel. Consequently, our issues are resolved quickly - and that is a relief!

I guess I can say I've learned that I'm a stronger person then what I thought I was.  Almost died twice and recovered, once when I was a child and once when I became an adult.  I had my third child when I was 26 and two months later have my  husband fired and my son diagnosed with terminal cancer all in the same week.  So no money, no insurance, a new baby and two other kids, one of which was dying.  Yeah I'm a strong person, if I can live thru that, I can live thru anything.  I can be bent but I can't be broken.  I've also found that no matter how far down I may get, there's still always room to show compassion and caring for other people, even if it's only in the form of a few simple words or a friendly smile.  I've also learned that no one is perfect and no one's opinion of me matters more than my opinion of myself.

There is a man I work with who is terribly angry all of the time and an alcoholic.  I was curious about this same thing, so I seduced him.  His johnson was the size of my thumb.  I got up and left.  If he's angrier now, nobody can tell.  But I got my answer - and now you do too.

the Prophet (pbuh) told us not to let anger take control of you.\nhe said that anger is a tool of the devil.\n\nA man came to the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, and said, "Messenger of Allah, teach me some words which I can live by. Do not make them too much for me, lest I forget." The Messenger of Allah,  sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, said, "Do not be angry." [Abu Daud]\n\n“Those who spend (in Allah’s cause) in prosperity and in adversity, who repress their anger, and who pardon men, verily, Allah loves the al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).”\n[Surah Al-Imran (3) : Ayah 133-134]\n\n"A strong person is not the person who throws his adversaries to the ground. A strong person is the person who contains himself when he is angry." [Al-Bukhari; Book 47, No. 47.3.12]\n\n"I ask you O Allah, for truthful speech during times of pleasure and anger" [Nasaai and Ahmad]\n\nLessons\n1#  A person should learn how to change his character and adapt the characteristics of generosity, kindness, calmness, modesty, patience and forgiving. If a person adapts these qualities, then he may be able to restrain himself when he is about to get angry.\n\n2# One should not act based on anger or while being angry.\n\n3# When a person is about to get angry, he should control himself, be patient and not get angry\npeace.

Ok, as someone that's been with my favorite person for over 25 years...\n\n--I have toned down my temper--I pick my battles very carefully!\n--I am MUCH less selfish...I think more of how he will feel about something I am deciding on and I choose activities, etc. that we will both enjoy.\n--I TRY to work a little harder on house work stuff! I'm not great at it, but I'm still trying!

It's easy to understand your anger.  But, your anger is the same anger they have, intolerance.  I'll admit their beliefs are fucked up, but hating them only puts you on their level.  You obviously care about people being free and equal, don't let these assholes bring you down.

I think your angry because your hurt.    You desire to stay in one place,  don't want to keep starting over, you want stability in your life and want to be able to believe that what your mom says is true.  I think your anger is a combination of many other emotions.  Resentment, sadness and frustration. What you could do, is tell your mom, when you are not angry,  that you feel hurt at the fact that her words and her actions are not the same. Next time she says i promise, say mom, i love you but don't make promises you can't keep.  It may not seem like a big statement to say but it will let out some of your feelings. When you disagree with someone and you don't express how you feel and save it for later you are a time bomb waiting to happen. So each time you have the opportunity to express and emotion other than anger let it out even if it is just a little bit. After some practice you might see that your anger won't be as intense.
