My boyfriend and I got into a bad argument yesterday (over something stupid on my part and I will admit that, I over reacted). From this argument we realized a few things.

1. I don't trust him. He also admitted that he hasn't done anything to gain my trust since some things happened. Which he said he would try to fix and I am going to try to fix.

2. Another thing is that he needs to learn to question when I snap at him. About 85% of when I snap, I don't know I did until I see the reaction on his face (usually he gets upset/mad/hurt). Which he said he would try to fix.

3. I need to realize when I am overreacting. I never realized I do until after we argue and we begin to talk about what happens (most of the talking he does because it is hard for me to talk once I start crying. There is a shell/self defense mechanism that I use where I just shut down). I am going to try to fix that.

So after all that is said, my main questions are:
1. Any tips on regaining my trust for someone or relearning how to trust them?
2. Any tips on recognizing when I am over reacting?
3. Any tips on learning how to control my tone of voice or recognizing when I snap at someone?
