My boyfriend of a year and a half complains that I get angry too easily. I admit that I do, to some extent; but I always have an actual reason. For example, one of our friends (who has a boyfriend) was, (well in my eyes) flirting with my boyfriend right in front of me, and it pissed me off. By the way, it's not the best time of month right now, so that's causing me to be a bit moody and more bitchy about things. But anyway, so I confronted him about it and he got really pissed off and said he can't take me getting pissed about everything anymore. I almost lost him today and it really has hit me that should change, but I don't really know how. I really don't know how to be able not to get so mad about things. Can anyone give me some tips, if there is any?
Thanks so much.

I'm trying to change also. A way to do it is to take a deep breath, close your eyes and count to ten. Then, look at the other person's position and what they might be feeling. I'm sure you're boyfriend doesnt want to fight with you. So, just realize people make mistakes and they should be forgiven.
If youre really mad, then say to him, "I'll call you back because right now I'm kinda mad and I don't want to say anything I don't mean." When you're really cooled off, call him back. If he wants to talk about the fight, go ahead. But do it calmly. There mightve been some mistakes you made, so own up to them.
