The title is merely a play on words. I don’t literally want to "beat" my husband although the thought of it sometimes puts a smile on my face.
Lets get to my problem. My husband is a very smart man who has been raised by a lawyer. He, himself also wants to be a lawyer. Here's the relevance: he has been taught all of his life to play with other people's words and efficiently turn blame without much notice. We have been married for 2 years, have been seeing a counselor, but no matter how hard we try, we still are up to our old habits. By no means am I saying that I am perfect and my problem becomes very apparent when he and I get into an argument. I break down with raging anger. I don’t throw or hit or anything, but my anger gets so overwhelming that because of it, I lose all self control, cursing along while I spit irrelevant and illogical points. This does not help me, makes me look stupid, and he gains even more control of the situation. How do I control my anger? How do I "beat" him without folding into giving him the silent treatment?
