writes: I have been having an attitude problem lately with my boyfriend. It seems any little thing that he does that aggravate me, I get pissed off. I then regret it later and wish that we weren't arguing. For example: Yesterday he left for a 1/2 hour without letting me know and I was waiting for him so we could leave. I got really pissed when he got home and told him he shouldn't do that, but I was mad for about 2 hours afterwards. I know this is stupid, but it's like I can't help it. We live with my parents at the time and are trying to save up some money to buy a house, so I do see him everyday. Is there any way to prevent me from getting so upset all the time? I can go from being really nice to really mean in a matter of seconds. The thing is, he knows that what he does aggrevates me, but he still does it. He knows I have an attitude problem, can you help me please? I don't want to lose him due to this. Thanks in advance:)

Most of the time now, I just try and hold what I'm mad about inside because I know I'll get over it and most of the time it is stupid, but then he asks what's wrong and I just try and be quiet and that starts a fight anyways. I have not tried sitting down and talking about anger, because I wouldn't know how to start. Can you give some tips on how to do this? I'd greatly appreciate it!

Im am SOOO not trying to sound mean at all but maybe you should look at yourself here. I have an anger problem and I get mad at my b/f allll the time. Mostly he isnt doing anything wrong I just dont know how to voice my feelings so I get so mad and start throwing things and being all crazy. DO you guys commmunicate ok? Like when you fight are you able to sit down and talk? I thought that was a joke until I tried and honestly, it works.

leaving the house without telling you? yes that is irritating and you should be mad. that isnt something you do to anyone much less a partner. i don't leave my office without telling coworkers. that is respect not attitude. maybe, just maybe it isnt you.
