Hi all... Please help...During ugly arguments with my partner I sometimes burst out laughing.. It is not because I find it funny... or am laughing at him but it is a reaction I can not control.. I try hard to stop myself as he's gets really angry and aggressive......but can not help it.. We generally are not able to communicate well... somehow it always turns into an argument even though I can't see why.. as we are grownups and should be able to talk.. I feel my hysterical laugh is unability to deal with his anger and aggression.. but he doesn't believe me.. He trully believes I laugh at him..in his face.. Actually I am in a state and really scared... Advice please

I know what you are talking about. I have had the same reaction to situations where I am afraid or nervous. I once had to go to a viewing of a body of a friend of mine and I was horrified that my reaction was a bad case of the giggles. I had been very nervous and a bit scared of seeing the dead body. This was just a natural (yet bizarre) reaction to how I was feeling. Sounds like this is creating a major problem for you though. I would suggest seeking counseling to learn other ways you can handle yourself during these situations. Maybe if you know that it's coming you can do something to distract yourself. This is something you and a counselor can work on. Sounds like it's not really a healthy relationship though if you are scared of your partner and you describe him as "angry and aggressive" at times. Maybe you should consider what's going on in your relationship and why you get scared of him. That might help you get over your case of laughing at him when he gets upset.

It is termed as"emotional lability" there are multiple illnesses that will cause this and a neurologist can help you with your pathological laughing.
Schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, stroke, ALS or Alzheimer’s are only some of the illnesses that cause this symptom so have it checked out, it could lead to something else that's wrong with you or you just may have the need to laugh instead of crying in the wrong situations.

I understand...I have a friend and when ever she gets scared she giggles (once durning a performance of a play)
Tell him (i know you have tried...if at first you dont succeed try try again) sit him down and have a talk try not to get angry but be calm if he still doesnt understand seek counseling

break up with this person. if you don't feel comfortable with them and they get aggresive you need out of that relationship.
good luck
