Don't Bottle Up Your Anger

Try to find healthy ways to express your anger to each other, and do it early and often while you are only a little upset, and hopefully still rational. If you bottle it up too long, it will explode, and that is so much worse.

I found the following passage in a Robert Jordan book, but it rings so very true.

"I will never, ever be angry with you, I sw —" She cut him off with a hand over his mouth.

"Mother says the worst thing Father ever did to her was vow never to be angry with her. It took her a year to force him to take it back, and she says he was hardly fit to live with long before then from holding in. You will be angry with me, Perrin, and I with you. If you want to make me another wedding vow, vow you will not hide it when you are."
