Hi. You are so brave to write about being irritated with your husband. You said that it started within the last five months though. What happened five months ago? When my husband and I were first married we used to get very irritated with each other. Both of us were suffering from PTSD and we just weren't treating each other as good as we should have. We both read Bill DeFoore's book about anger and decided to do the anger releasing exercises together. Every time I wanted to blow up at him and every time he wanted to blow up at me, we'd go punch pillows instead. I'm not sure how many pillows we went through doing this, but it definitely worked. After we got a lot of our unresolved childhood and past anger out, we started to get along a lot better. I really believe that most of the problems people find in their marriages can be traced back to unresolved childhood and past memories. My parents fought a lot when I was a child. I guess I grew up thinking that a lot of fighting in a marriage was just normal. I'm glad that I found out a better way to get my anger out.
