[quote=Anonymous]If people notice him ranting like a maniac in the halls, then that's more than getting angry for 15 seconds. Nothing wrong with getting angry about something. If how you handle it involves acting in ways that scare, embarrass, and upset your partner, then you need to find new ways to express your anger. I get it, OP. My neighbors would look at me funny sometimes, and with pity, and keep their distance, because they'd often overhear my husband screaming and cursing. He didn't call me names or hit me, but he was horrible and frightening, and would use his outbursts to control me and keep me quiet. And that's emotional abuse. It took us both a long time and years of therapy to understand this and work on changing the dynamic--me to stop making excuses and putting up with it, and him to get at the roots of his issues and learn to manage his anger and emotions and behave appropriately.[/quote]
