Relationships at times can be very difficult.  Sometimes the stress and strain of them on you can almost cause you to have emotional outbursts.  Sometimes in rare occasions these are justified, but in general they are not.  Find out what you can do to help you limit and control your emotional outbursts in your relationship so that you don't do them as much.

First of all, you need to learn the ability to just pause.  This is a pause that you will take for ten or twenty seconds before you react.  This will take you some maturity to not just go with your first feeling and react quickly.

Think more about the words that you are going to say as opposed to how you are going to react and explode.  You need to be more calm and express what you need to express with words and not raw emotions.

Let your partner know that you both have a communication problem.  The outbursts and yelling are there because deep down you feel that you are trying to get a message through that is not being heard.  Learn to build healthier ways of communicating with each other.

You and your partner might have boundary issues.  One partner feels hurt about it and the other does not care about the issue.  Whether or not you personally care about this boundary, you need to for your partner to help with the outbursts.

You have to know when to walk away from the conversation.  This isn't done where you just hang up the phone in anger.  This is where you come to terms with your partner and say that the emotions are too high to continue talking for right now.  Take a break and let your emotions settle before talking again.

Learn how to take the excess stress out of your life.  Sometimes this builds up and you take it out on your partner with your outbursts.
