I wish you could control your anger, it is ruining our relationship. Has this statement ever been said to you? I know it has to me, on more than one occasion. I eventually decided that enough was enough; luckily this was before my wife had. I did not want to lose her and therefore decided to enroll in an anger management class. The results were quite amazing and thus far, long lasting. I am now firmly back in my wife’s good books and looking forward to the future. For the first time, in a long time, I feel in control of my life and of my emotions.

I have to admit that I have always had some form of anger management problem; it is only over recent years that I have finally been able to admit this however. In the past I just presumed that all of us had the same type of issues, how wrong was I? My anger never really came out in the form of violence; it would be more of a vocal attack. I could be quite vicious and nasty at times. I would be aware of when I would start to lose control but could never seem to be able to stop myself from letting rip etc. Counting to ten did not do it for me.

I would tend to “lose it” when I was very tired or when I was down or depressed. I am also the kind of person who finds it very hard to take any form of criticism, this I am now aware is a very poor trait.

My wife had warned me that she could not continue living with me as the way things were. Over the years my anger problem was becoming seemingly worse. I hate to admit it but my wife was quite scared as to just how bad it would become.

I would advise any person who is in a similar position to what I have described above to attend anger management classes; they could not only save your marriage but also your life. I hope you find them as beneficial as I did.
