I have been with my partner for just over a year now and things are getting really exhausting. My partner gets angry at least 2-4 times a week since day one, and its becoming really exhausting.
Whenever she does not like something she hears or if something gets changed last minute or if something becomes an inconvenience then she starts raising her voice really passionately about how she feels, she may throw in a few F-bombs and I have to talk really calming and make sure everything is ok, most times she will go silent and then ill end up in trouble because I want to leave the convo because she doesn't want to talk or I will argue against her because its so pointless and I see a resolution and explain things to her and she gets upset thinking I don't help her or I don't understand where she is coming from, and then I don't stop hearing about it.
I have tried to explain that just because things don't work out its not the end of the world and its really not worth getting into an argument. Once we get into an argument or she feels the ways she feels about something it will take her a day or rest of a day to get passed it. I've mentioned to her before its ok to get upset and not be happy about things but there are plenty of ways to deal with it and it doesn't always mean we need to argue and fight. I have explained that dealing with conflict like that means we have wasted time together.
Now I have been reacting quite nasty myself lately yelling and screaming and going off in response to these pointless arguments, I don't think the way I have been reacting is right and I don't like it. Unfortunately I have noticed she starts to listen after I get angry, I am currently taking steps to deal with my angry outbursts.
In general I feel we communicate well, we talk quickly in the morning before work, we chat for about 1 hr on the way home from work and then maybe 2 hrs throughout the evening/before bed, that happens every day then the weekends, Saturday nights and all day Sunday we will be together. Unfortunately we both still live with our parents. We don't argue about money, families, friends, or anything major at all, but its the constant arguing which is really exhausting. I have noticed she is the same with her parents also.
I do not know what to do to get passed it. I would really appreciate your help.
