[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I’m the PP with a DH who also yells sometimes.  I’m not sure it even rises to the level of an anger management issue, as that term is used, since it is so infrequent- I know there are women with spouses for whom that behavior is an everyday thing and really scary, so don’t want to pretend I’m dealing with the same thing.  Anyway, it’s interesting to me that your DH and mine share so many character traits.  My DH has loved that Covid meant our family was all together for so long.  He also reads people really well, like your DH.  But mine likes expensive restaurants (and Five Guys)![/quote]

Maybe there’s a cultural element.

Vast generalization, but I’ve noticed that anger is considered unacceptable in WASP circles. People do not get mad, they sublimate it into drinking and passive aggressive comments and affairs. In many other cultures, there’s a higher level of conflict and negativity that is considered normal to show at home with close family and people who are like family.[/quote]
