The way anger is handled in a relationship is very important!  I just broke up
with my SO last night because of the way anger was being handled.  When I am
angry, I usually either cry very hard, get very quiet, or engage in verbal
abuse.  Thank God I don't get into the third choice very often anymore.
However, what broke us up (I believe) is that every time we had an argument
or a "riff," he could NOT forgive or forget.  Sometimes days went past before
I could finally feel at ease again.  And I'd beg him to talk about it,.....
nothing doing!  After these episodes, the closeness would drift farther and 
farther away.  I always felt I was on probation .... and ONE slip was all it
would take.  Well, we finally weren't happy in the total situation anymore.
It's going to be awfully hard to let 4 years of my life go away from me.
