How to deal with girlfriend with anger issues?

[Anonymous]

Been dating my girlfriend for over a year now. However, I’ve noticed that her anger issues have been getting progressively worse over the last few weeks. We would be driving and I’ll inquire about how her friends are doing and she’ll get upset by my questions. These conversations typically end with her yelling “I don’t know” at me.

Maybe it’s me, but I feel like it’s odd to react this way to your partners concern.

Sometimes she’ll get mad at me for pushing her to finish things like her resume, which she’s been procrastinating on for at least 2-3 weeks now.

Any input?

Here is how I handle it with my wife because she is very quick to anger as well. For every octave she goes up in yelling, I lower my voice until I get to a whisper. It forces her to listen to what I have to say. I will also sometimes hold her hands and completely change the subject to something else completely and ask her to describe something until she calms down and then we can come back to the problem

Get rid of her. You think she would put up with you screaming at her? Hell no.

Just leave her
