Why do I fly off the handle at the smallest thing??

Question - (6 December 2007) 0 Answers - (Newest, )
A male United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

Hi, I am a 40 year old man, my partner is 28.

We met at work nearly 10 years ago, at the time I was going through a bad split from my wife, and we had two small children, we had split a few times and got back together but it was not working.

Meeting my new partner was like a fresh of breath air, I was 30, she was just 18, for obvious reasons her parent were dead set against us, as were seom friends who said it would not last.

We started living together a few months later after I had moved back to my parents after my recent split, for a while I saw my children every other weekend, and life continued, although my relationship with my ex wife was difficult and she hated my new partner, although I fail to see why as she was not involved or the reason for the split.

Back in 2004, I received a short prison sentence for being involved in a fight at a football match, my partner stood by me, my ex wife initially refused to let me see my children once I was released, but that all smoothed over.

Since then I have changed my lifestyle in terms of not being involved in the football violence, new job, new responsibilites as a volunteer for a social club.

My partner is one of the kindest, sweetest people you can meet, intelligent with her I.T. career, sometimes scatty and dozy with general life but a good person.

My issue is that I fly off the handle (not violently I would add)at the smallest thing, I can get frustrated very quickly and use foul language to vent my anger, I can sulk for hours and be churlish.

Why do I do this, do I have unresolved issues, do I need physchiatric help or relationship guidance, she does not deserve this, of course we argue sometimes and it is not always my fault but I am becoming more worried as to why I can be so moody and offish for no apparent reason.

Thank you
