Why do men ruin perfectly good relationships with periodic bursts of temper that are most likely directed towards their spouses?
I have seen my father doing it, my brother, uncles, father in law, and now my husband. They can be perfect for months till one day you get into an argument with them and they say something that leaves you speechless and shocked. It makes you question all the good times and the love declarations.
Is this universal behavior for men?
See below...I have to agree with the dude for once.
Its 'coz women don't know when to stop........they will keep pushing and pushing and pushing........and there is only so much patience a man has.........
I have never witnessed my dad have a burst of anger. He's a very calm, polite, confident man and expresses any disagreement in the same peaceful tone. All his brothers are like this too, I see the same composure mirrored in his friends outside the family, so I don't think it's universal at all.
What's universal is the view that my dad, brothers, uncles etc. are an exception to the rule. Even the 'Men are pigs' club members don't include men from their own immediate family in the piggish kind.
