Anger is a normal and perfectly natural feeling. Just as normal and natural as love, fear, happiness and sadness. We all experience this emotion but problems can arise when you or your partner do not understand the reasons for their anger or do not know how to properly control it. Some may not even know that they do have underlying anger issues and it's important to a healthy relationship that these be brought to the surface and dealt with before the relationship and/or the persons health becomes jeopardized.
Just because you don't have emotional outburst or the fact that you or your partner seem to be in control at all times doesn't mean that anger issues don't exist. It's important to really explore your feelings to see if you are keeping anger bottled up inside.
Ignoring the fact that you do have pent up anger and believing that if you avoid whatever has led to that anger will make the problems go away will not resolve the issues and this anger will continue to work its way into your life as well as your relationships. It's only when you understand the causes behind this anger that you can begin the healing process necessary to becoming a healthier, happier person.
Redirecting your anger in way of venting your anger without dealing with the real issues at hand will not make you feel any better over the long term. You may think you feel better briefly but usually even more bad feelings set in about the way you've treated someone else in the process of your venting.
Not expressing your hurt or frustration in an effective manner but rather playing the down trodden role and seeking sympathy for your plight will not get at the problem and allow you to move on. It only draws it out and reinforces it in your mind and fuels the negative emotions driving the anger in the first place. Somewhere inside, you will feel weak and powerless for not taking control over your life and making the necessary changes that directly address the issues responsible for your anger.
Believing that you can not express your feelings openly for fear that you will cause further damage to your relationship. This is the furthest thing from the truth. The only way your relationship can prosper and grow is through open communication.
If you or your partner are having trouble with anger whether pent up inside or acting out from this anger, it is important for you to get help now. I would suggest being careful about bringing this to your friends or family has this can leave long lasting bad impressions of one or the other in the relationship, even after things are resolved and the two of you have moved forward in a positive manner. Seeking counseling from your clergy or other professional is often the best solution for understanding and dealing with more advanced issues.
