How Anger In A Relationship
Can Be Positive!

From my point of view, anger in a relationship can be good. The anger is teaching you about yourself. It is up to you to go within and to discover what exactly is making you angry.

It is very important to realize that the anger is within yourself and not in your partner; your partner is not the cause of it, only the trigger.

You can find out more information concerning emotional triggers at anger triggers.

Your partner is merely your mirror and through him or her, you are able to discover yourself and what is causing your emotions, especially anger.

If your anger is hidden, you may be revealing it through sarcastic remarks. Nonetheless, you are still angry, and it is repressed anger.

Many people are not aware that they are angry or what causes it, therefore anger in a relationship can be a positive thing if you are willing to release your negative emotions from yourself and work on your faults.

Relationships are good for revealing not only your partner's habits but more about yourself.

Here you have the mirror effect - seeing yourself in your partner, especially what you are not accepting within yourself.

You always attract what you need.

When you live alone, it is not very likely that you will be aware of your anger. But little things may cause your anger, such as appliances breaking down - things that are out of your control such as your refrigerator or toaster. In this case you have control issues.

Since my partner died, I still live alone but I am able to work on any issues that I still have through my ability of hearing voices - I always receive the help I need when I ask my spiritual guides for their assistance.

In a relationship, two people usually have very different backgrounds with different habits and behaviors, and unless you have learned to love one another unconditionally which is what we all need to learn, chances are that one of you will be bothered by the other partner's habits.

'Don't sweat the small stuff'. This may be unrealistic for many, but the anger is teaching you or your partner what you need to work on.

For example, if one partner is a 'neat freak' and is always picking up after the other, then the one doing the picking up will eventually get angry. Read letting go of anger.

The one who is messy doesn't have any problems, because he or she doesn't see it as an issue. The one who is angry is probably feeling put upon because he/she is doing all the work.

The habit of 'perfection' is controlling the one who is always cleaning, hence anger in a relationship is the outlet.

The solution? Quite simple, you need to either loosen up on your expectations of your partner's habits and release the issues you have concerning feeling put upon which is causing your anger.

The issues could go back to your childhood or even a past life. The important thing is to release it, then your partner's habits such as being messy will not bother you and you will not feel compelled to clean after him/her. The issues relate to an unresolved conflict within yourself, hence the compulsion or obsession to clean.

If you let your anger fester, it grows within yourself and causes an unbalance and disruption in your immune system eventually causing physical illness later on in your life.

As I said, anger in a relationship is good especially for discovering who you are, even the dark side of one's self.

Rather than blaming your partner, look within. There are lessons about self discovery which can be learned through your relationship with your partner.

Instead of blaming your partner, after you have done your inner work, you can thank him or her for helping you to heal yourself.
