batshalom -> RE: subs with a temper (8/19/2008 10:41:37 AM)

Oh my heavens yes I have a temper. I'm a single mom with two fairly young children and I'm a fulltime student. I have a mortgage, a house to keep decently clean, regular troubles like regular people. My mother drives me batshit sometimes, my ex-husband is a very sweet man but doesn't discipline the children at ALL which makes me the bad guy (although he does do my home repairs ... so ... not such a bad tradeoff) and I have ten pets. My life can be a circus. My Sir is a demanding man who takes great pleasure in trying to drive me crazy. He loves to push my buttons, and always has, even when we weren't involved. Temper tantrums, however, I do not throw. I might go quiet. I might be churlish and give curt answers. I might have to remove myself from the situation and go drive or shop or whatever. Tantrums, while they can alleviate stress, can also feed the anger and prolong it (as can forcing yourself to swallow it without dealing with it). I try to express my anger calmly (doesn't always work as well as I'd like it to) and excuse myself when I'm not around my Dom. When I am around my Dom I express my anger as calmly as possible and ask to be excused. Sometimes he breaks out in laughter and embraces me (which works pretty well) and tells me he's sorry to be so difficult. Sometimes he tells me to deal with it and to continue with my tasks or whatever, so I deal with the anger after he's finished with me. That is not to say I don't get my point across. In fact, I think he takes a perverse pleasure in my stubborn refusal to blow up and to continue on with his tasks after I have expressed my displeasure (which, in turn, gives me a surprising amount of satisfaction at being such a control freak, pleasing him as I freakishly control myself).
