David Urnst Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Hello, I could really use some feedback on what to do about my wife's anger. My wife and I have been married for about ten years and in the past few years she has developed a shorter and shorter fuse when it comes to anger. These days, the slightest thing sets her off. Her level of anger seems to me to be extremely disproportionate to the cause or offense. Where as we used to be able to talk about things, now she just shuts down and refuses to speak with me. Her anger is visible and she often appears as though she is about to literally explode with rage. I am very concerned because not only do I anger her, but our kids cause her to be very angry as well. If it were just me I could deal with it a bit better, but I am very concerned for my kids to grow up under that influence. I know my wife would never act out and physically abuse the kids, that is not even in question, but I am concerned about how she speaks to them when she is angry. I grew up in a home with a very angry mother and I am freaking out because it appears I married someone with the same tendency toward anger problems. I have tried talking to her but again, she refuses to have a discussion with me about her anger and she has not apologized for her anger for a very long time now. Does anyone here have any experience with this type of marital issue? If so, I could use all the advice I can get. Thanks in advance for your help. David
