Blocky Posted November 2, 2011 Report Posted November 2, 2011 I learned something about myself that made it so I don't blow up anymore. I have a point where if I go past it, I am just out of control, I can't/don't want to hear his point of view and I can't express myself the way I want. I think of it as my blood pressure getting too high. When we are having a conversation that turns into an argument, if my blood pressure gets past this point I have to just stop. I make a joke to diffuse the situation or take a break. I think to myself, if I feel like I get to the 'blood pressure point' then I have to stop. I know I reach this point because I feel my whole body go tense and I breath shallowly. If I find myself doing this, it's time to put on the brakes. My husband also can call me on this, if he thinks I'm too 'worked up' he can call a break. On his side he just checks out and goes to lala land in his head. I'm free too ask if he's Really paying attention. Quote

bcguy Posted December 11, 2011 Report Posted December 11, 2011 Mom is paranoid, her dad has anger manamgnet. Now combine those in one woman, that was the one I marries who was very good at hiding some of the worst of those traits untill we lived together after sealing. She was a nut case in the beging of our marriage. Has lots of anxiety issues and hates getting embarrassed as well as her photo taken. She is a control freak over events, and things in the house. Is this like you? Quote
