Is it normal to get so mad at your significant other to where you want to harm?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 4 yrs. We are great, and never been apart.Although there are those little moments when we have are intense arguments like most couples. The problem is he is the type that will ignore what iam saying and just try to shut me off when im talking and says hurtful things. I get so mad to where i just want to hurt him, as in hit him or something. My temper gets really bad and i just dont know what to do anymore before its too late, and use the violence aproach. Is there any advice on how i can handle my temper at my WORST before it goes too far?

    It's never right to physically hurt someone you love, but it's very common to want to.

    You're normal until you actually hit him. Then you're a criminal.

    I went thru the same thing wit me my bf. he would piss me off that I would end up biting him and not care at all how badly I would damage him. I would always regret it later. then one time he retaliated and he bruised me all up and down my arms. it sucked, needless to say. my lesson was that its a stupd mistake! things will go downhill! the best thing to do is leave and go for a bike ride, go shopping, go stay with your gfs until he misses you and learns time with you is precious and its a fucking mistake to treat u that way. you have to show ur valuable bcuz he wont value u if u dont value urself.

    sounds like he doesnt respect you - unless you talk to much..... sometimes you should just walk away and shut up

    Each of us feel angry on occasion. The next time you feel that anger swelling up inside, take a step back and use some simple tools to make your anger work for you. Anger is a sign that you need to take action on your behalf. You can use the emotion to develop better relationships. Take a break from the situation. When you are angry, the first step will be to regain control of your emotions. Give yourself some time to clarify your thoughts. When you are thinking clearly, take a moment to analyze the situation. What was it that made you angry? Sometimes, anger is a mask emotion for deeper emotions such as fear, disappointment, frustration. Give yourself some time to consider what it is that is provoking your anger. Once you have identified the situation that is fueling your emotion, ask yourself what you can do to change it. It is important that you do not focus on other people in this step. Other people can not make you angry. Ask yourself what you can do to make changes in your own life to prevent the situation that is upsetting. This is a tough step. Often people would rather stay stuck in a situation they feel angry about than venture out and make changes. Put the changes into action. If you put changes into action to reduce anger in your life, you will find yourself growing as a person. Often relationships become stronger as we learn to listen to our anger and use it as a signal to implement positive changes.
