Well, coming from a large, noisy family -- I usually fall back on my old style of shouting something like "ARE YOU CRAZY? THERE'S NO WAY I'M VISITING THAT CREEP WITH YOU!!" (or whatever). Since my SO comes from a small, quiet family he cannot understand this venting of steam and is completely bewildered at my violent reaction and rather terrified by my seeming extreme of emotion. By now, I have let off steam and am perfectly happy and calm and ready to discuss things reasonably. He is a quivering wreck and afraid to say another word. I do not recommend this method of handling anger!! :-) --Judy McMullan
