I've noticed that when I'm talking to my boyfriend I get really snappy and I've been getting annoyed really easy with the things he has to say. It's like sometimes I just don't want to hear him talk or b!tch. I wish I wasn't acting this way, I can't help it though. What should I do?

Since you are on this site, you are probably seeing a p-doc - have you talked to him or her about this problem?

Well, it's tough to say what the cause may be.

I, for instance, feel a lot more comfortable bawling out loved ones than strangers. Even though the stranger is the one who triggerred my anger! There are other times when we have unresolved emotions towards our SO, which comes out seemingly pointlessly. I'd recommend looking at the latter of the two and working my way back from there and talking about the incidents (emotions & triggers) with my SO as well as my T.

thanks, last night we had a huge fight... it sounds weird but i think thats what i needed. i had somethings i had to say that i had been bottling up. so we will see how things go from here. i told him he needed to be more patient and less demanding and i would bee less snappy.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
