When two persons decide to be partners for life do they they become similar in thought getting rid of differences. They remain different persons but now accept to live with a person of different thoughts,. nature and characteristics. You go the longest way possible to adjust yourself with your partner. But if your partner is a short tempered person how do you live with him or her ?

It is not easy at all unless the other has tonnes of patience and forgiving.

Good question, pretty much when my husband does this. I say he take a chill pill or something. Which tells him check yourself. His is bipolar so he can’t always help his emotions and how they come out. Some times I’ll tell him not the time to be mad or even tell he is starting to sound like his dad which he hates.

I think the best bit of advice is not to take things personally. In my "relationship" I am the short tempered one.

You be honest and call them out on it. Make them aware that you think they get upset too easily or get too angry when they're upset. Do it when you're both calm, it will help them accept that it came from the heart and not from the result of a squabble. They may not agree. If that's the case, you're doomed to live life walking on eggshells hoping that you won't do something to trigger their anger. If they agree you have a valid point, it opens the door for discussion on what to do about it. If you never say anything, it will never change.

Simply impossible. If he gets angry so essily, no point of living together.

I wouldn't--I can't tell you what to do, but having someone always irritated with you is no way to live

If there is healthy relation in other things, both of them can sit together and talk about it. Short temper is okay if it is not crossing particular limit.

My partner, yes he is. Since he is a loving person ... super loving one I can't kick him out of my life (yet). I am born with 1000% patience so I just laught it off.

By trying to calm them down. Talking softly with the person until they feel better

I am a patience person but if i live with a short tempered partner, perhaps i'll choose to be quiet and not to talk too much.

It is hard to have a short tempered person as a partner because you have to be quiet and have long patience to be able to handle that kind of person. Otherwise, you will just fight and fight everytime

A lot of patience and learning what may or may not set them off.
