I love my boyfriend, that's for sure. I just wonder why I feel this way. I easily get mad with him whenever he do something wrong. Even a little mistake becomes more complicated. Sometimes, I control my emotion but I can't resist it. He is the only person whom I easily get mad with. Does anyone know why I feel this way? Fortunately my boyfriend is a very understanding person. He has alot of patience and down to earth personality. I feel guilty for my acts. What shall I do? Need help everyone. Please share your opinion with this matter. Thank you so much! Have a nice evening everyone.

I feel the same. Not just with my boyfriend but with people who mean a lot to me. I think it's got to do with us being more sensitive towards them because after all, we have entrusted ourselves to them. So we notice more of their mistakes than other people's. We put a lot of weight into how they treat us and what they say to us. We just have to learn to say it in a constructive way. I've tried to explain this to my boyfriend, and I think, I hope he has understood. Sometimes I could be very ballistic with him. I apologize a lot of times but I also want him to understand what triggered my reactions. I'm happy you've found such a patient boyfriend, but don't try to push him to the limits. Good luck! :)

i suppose you get mad at him whenever hes wrong as you love him and always want everything to be right for him. theres no harm in being mad but just try not to over react so much when hes in the wrong jencai

Maybe you get so mad and you criticize him so much because you want him to be better, you want him to get as close to perfect as possibly, because you care so much about him. I do the same, I always criticize more those people I care for, not always consciously, so I'd hep them become a better person.

I guess it is because of love, and that love also will be the one that would decide if you just know how to use it. There are love that kills, hurts, inspirational, giving, understanding, etc.. But if you give too much, that might cause your boyfriend to choke it all up. try to understand him, give him some space to breathe, some time to think and also choices to make. I think you're dictating him too much, and I'm glad that he does understand you. You should be proud of him, and you should also consider his short-comings. Love is a give and take relationship, it's all up to the both of you on how to adjust though it and make good use of it!;)

This is the problem with your attitude. Perhaps you dont want him to commit any mistake or perhaps you take the liberty to act like that because he has a very down to earth personality. I adivsed you to have a look on your behavior and be afraid of that day when your boyfried will show his anger when his limits end.
