Have you ever wondered…?
Has your partner complained about any of the following…?
I get it. You’re a guy and you fix problems. So when there’s a problem in your relationship or when you’re fed-up with feeling the way you do, you want to fix what’s wrong. But you don’t want to get dragged into why there’s a problem because that means dealing with emotions. You might think that only women need to fix problems this way. And you’d be wrong.
Anger is one of the basic emotions all of us feel to one degree or another. Indeed, someone who is incapable of experiencing anger would certainly be at a disadvantage in trying to survive. Used constructively, anger helps us to protect ourselves. It motivates us to solve problems and to resolve conflicts with other people. Anger is an emotion that tells us there is something wrong and motivates us to make our situation better.
