anger

Once you say something hurtful, you can never UN-say it. It will not be forgotten. And the thing you say, the more hurtful it is, the more it will be clearly remembered.

Sure, you can apologize. You can “make up”. You can re-prove your love. But once you’ve said something that truly hurts, you can never take it back and it will never be forgotten.

Thats the reason why if I ever get really really angry, I shut my mouth and seek alone-time till I get a grip on myself. If the hurtful things still need to be said once my mind is clear and free of anger then they will be said. But to lash out causes way more harm than good.

Mo3 hit it right on the nose. This is why I’ve tried really hard to never say mean things, even when I’m extremely mad. I’ve spoken to my husband about this too----that even if we’re really angry at each other we need to address/talk about/vent about the issue rather than making mean remarks about each other’s behavior, character, etc.

Anger can’t be avoided, but meanness and personal attacks can be.
