My husband complains that I stop talking when I am angry . He thinks that it shuts the communication and he has no way to find out what I am angry about. How do you deal with your anger?

I usually will talk about it if it is with my family- but if I’m at work and I’m mad- I won’t talk either- I just turn on my music and stick to myself- The day drags on- but I feel better anyways- Your husband is smart- my sig. other would just say- oh she is mad and will get over it- if I don’t talk to him. : )

When i'm angry i also don't want to talk to the person i'm angry at. I have to let the steam blow out a little by being alone first. I think it's the best thing to do because oftentimes i tend to say nasty things when i'm flaring up. These are the times when i apply the rule: less talk less mistakes. I don't want to end up feeling guilty. You can never take back hurting words and sometimes that can only worsen the situation.

I can control my anger very well. But sometimes, I just can't deal it anymore. I just keep quiet for a while and then cry in an empty room. I don't want people to know that I am angry with them. :)

I'm the same way to a certain point. If I am just angry I shut myself down and refuse to talk, which makes my husband even angrier...but, if i am so angry that i'm crying it's gonna be bad. It's very strange, but I can't just talk out being aggravated or being angry unless i'm so mad that I start to cry and then anything and everything comes out of my mouth and i don't shut up. LOL!
