You must commit to a number of items
February 4, 2010

In one of your responses, you state that if you decide to stay in a “less-than-ideal” marriage, you must commit to a number of items. One of these items is: I will work to keep the tone of my household calm and in control because that is what's best for my children and me. While I don't have control over my partner's behavior, I have control over my own. Are there any ways to deal with a partner who tends to get stressed and anxious and “explodes” when he cannot deal with the situation at hand? If I always remain calm – even when he says some “not so nice things” how is that going to help him to not rage or explode?
