Anger Addiction in my Current Relationship

by Anine
(Queens, NY)

I am currently in a great relationship with a wonderful woman. After all the men I've had in my life it took a female to come in and change my world around.

But my anger problems are causing a lot of frustration in the relationship. We are always arguing about the little things and it's always me starting off the argument.

She really doesn't do anything wrong at all, at least not to the point where we have to have an argument about it. I always find myself taking everything to the next level and then I don't want to be bothered with her after I say my piece.

I feel like I'm going crazy at times because after I yell and curse at her, we lay down together and I actually think about what we were arguing about--and it doesn't make any sense at all. I just get really angry and I can't control my emotions after a while and I lash out on everyone especially my girl.

She's always asking me what's wrong with me, and why am I so angry all the time, but I never have an answer for her. Something's got to give.
