op don't over look this, bcoz it might not change. U have to talk to her, let her know what she's doing it hurtful to you. If she refuses to change, its better to work out of the relationship, bcoz it might get worst after marriage by then it'll be late

Take her to a therapist for anger management classes. If that fails, you have an option of leaving her

What is it that you always do to her that makes her so angry? Have you searched yourself? Or is she a lunatic? Why don't you just reassess yourself and make her happy for once!

Humans have different temperament, so don't expect her to be like you! You might be the type that surpresses his anger, that's your temperament, not hers!

I'm the type that voices my anger out depending on who is involved. I was getting close to this guy that felt and complained that I get angry all the time. One day I sat down and reflected on things and I realised that yes, i have been angry alot in that friendship but the truth of the matter is the guy does so many things so wrong and he expects me to suck it up. I called him, sat him down and talked to him. I'm not a lunatic but clearly he has turned me into one. He brings out the worst in me and I told him it was best he is no longer in my life anymore.

So what am I saying? This could be your fault! It could be that you do so many things so wrong! What do expect? For her to suck it up and smile and give you a gold medal? You bring out the worst in her, so its either you find a way to turn things around or you take a walk.

You are running away from taking responsibility for your behavior, it has nothing to do with what the guy did but everything to do with how your reactions/responses.
Stop giving people so much power over your emotions; life will always throw mean and sometimes deadly punches at us, how we respond determines our success or failure.

You even sound angry here too.
Anger is what any matured person can control. You need to know people will always have a different approach to everything cos we are not the same. It's called tolerance.
Although, most angry people are either impatient or havinging inferiority complex.

Op, anything you cant tolorate before marriage will get worse in marriage. Let her understand your feelings and your position, if she cant genuinely change, move on. A lot of us have daily pressures, but we dont snap at any litle thing. Anger control is one sign of maturity. Be sure she also loves you enough, else her anger may be an indirect expression of her dissatisfaction with who you are and what she is settling for.

My thoughts exactly.
Each adult should take responsibility for their behavior and not blame it on someone else.

If the fiancée refuse to stop been mad at every single issue then you the Op should move on.

People rarely change, they only become a clearer version of what they truely are.

I don't understand what "responsibility" I should take. And this is not about me. The rest of the things you are saying are completely out of point.

People don't just react to nothing, they react to actions. While you don't give any Tom and Jerry the right over your emotions, I agree with that. No one is obligated to us, i agree but when a certain person occupies a certain position or space in our lives s/he is obligated to us.

The guy should take responsibility for his actions too that provoke this lady. If this guy is engaged to this lady, he is obligated to her, to treat her right at all times but if he doesn't, the lady has every right to be angry.

Its not everything that's the lady's fault. That he first complained doesn't make him innocent!

Secondly, people's temperament differs, so are their horoscopes. Find out where your partner falls in. If you don't know all these, then you shouldn't advice people on behavioural issues, cos you are not qualified to do so.

Re: My Fiancée is too Temperamental...Help!!! by vivianc(f): 9:24pm On Oct 28, 2013
Is it not a shame how most of you are not being objective in this matter? Really a shame!

Unless someone is a lunatic, s/he doesn't just react to nothing, there most be an action before a reaction.

The question is what is she reacting to?

Now the way people react differs, that's their component, its the way they are created. So why don't we sit down and figure out ourselves how or what our partners' components are, it will help us a long way. And when we have figured it out, won't it be plain selfish to repeatedly do things that our partners' would react negatively to? If you can't figure this out, you have no business being in a relationship.

Usually don't do come backs but there are always exceptions.
(1) Part of my comments that seemed out of point were directed at your personal experience that you shared, thought it was obvious.
(2) Again, reacting to somebody's action is what I was asking you not to do! You have control over how you react but never on the actions coming at you!
(3) I agree that every body should treat everybody right but sadly, we don't live in an ideal world.
(4) Never wrote anything about the lady being at fault, I listened to Chimamanda when she talked about the dangers of a single side story and learnt valuable lessons.
(5) Temperament may differ but everybody must control their tempers otherwise it becomes an insane world. If in doubt, go to Ojota motor park watch those touts for like 15 minutes.
(6) Sorry, I don't do horoscopes and don't believe that has got anything to do with anybody's behavior.

We're humans and we're bound to react to people's actions, most especially the people we love! Anger is a normal reaction to some actions and in a relationship, you cannot expect a party to be keeping cool if the other party ain't acting cool.

1. You are still out of point. So no comment there.

2. Please get real! Somebody's actions is totally different from a "fiance's action." Where there is no feeling, there will never be an emotion. We are not talking "somebody's action" her. If we go by this your flawed logic then it doesn't make sense that the poster is reacting to his fiancee's reaction, he should just go with it cos "You don't go about reacting to somebody's action."

3. Again pls get real. No body is obligated to you for anything but there are exceptions. For instance; a husband/wife is obligated to his/her partner. A mother/child is obligated to each other. Best friends and lovers, etc. You don't go about expecting anything from random people.

4. Ignored.

5. Let me give you an assignment, pls go and study people's temperament intensively, until you do this and have a thorough understanding of it, pls you have no business advising people on behavioural issues, you can't advise people on what you know nothing about. Sometimes this goes beyond saying the right things and all, what about the practical aspect of it all? I agree with what you said, but until you know your partner's temperament and emotions; e.g, is he or she melancholic or not? Etc, is he or she very sensitive or not, you might never be able to calm him or her down. And when you don't know how to calm your partner down you are on a long thing. Most times logic doesn't prevail in relationship, especially when a woman is involved.

6. That's entirely your call. But other people believe and its plausible for them.

Don't mind them. If this poster where to be a chic complaining about a dude, we would have seen a lot of "How to calm him down and treat him like a king" lists. But since reverse is the case, how dare me! Right? How dare me demand she should be treated right, huh? Of course she shouldn't be, she should just smile and remain cool even when the guy drives her insane. If she couldn't the guy should move on jare..... After all he is doing her a favour by considering to marry her. grin grin

Hypocrites.

I think you are still missing their points. I'm more concerned about how she controls her temper than what the guy does to make her angry. In this crazy world we live in, we are bound to be angered by people but we should be able to control our anger to a reasonable extent. Someone who gets angry over little things and raises her voice every time is definitely too much to handle for a calm guy. (working with the info poster gave).

@bolded, I personally would have told the chic I smell future abuse and she should run for her life.

Uncontrollable temper is a red flag for me. Ask most victims of abuse, they usually see it coming but ignore the signs.

@Op, if you have the patience to enrol her in an anger management class, and wait for a positive outcome, do so, if not run for your life.

Btw, an important question has been asked, does she react the same way to other people around her?

How old is your fiancee? How old are you

I have said it on several occasions that marriage is for matured people only . . . . young and immature people should not venture into it because they are just setting themselves up for failure . .

Conflict resolution is very key to the success of a marriage and not everybody can handle it. The younger you are, the less likely will be able to . . .

I used to be very rash and vocal but I married the exact opposite. And with each passing day, I learn from him that raising my voice or spoiling for a fight is not a good thing to do while trying to resolve a conflict. If anything, you end up making a bigger mistake and ruining things for yourself . . . . . I didn't know this 3 years ago when I got married, but I'm learning from the best.

If you really love your fiancee, you need to teach her how to be mellow, with patience and love. You need to learn to be the bigger person, and above all, you need to learn to forgive . . . .

I'm sure she says a lot of things out of anger, things she doesn't mean . . .you need to learn to forgive and forget after she apologizes. Letting it fester will only feed your own anger and sooner or later your house will turn into a battle ground.

Nobody is perfect, marriage is a lifetime commitment and it need constant work to survive.

Poster, hv u ever wondered how on earth a once angry man(a man everybody dreads) become a jelly? Though he can become a roaring lion elsewhere but once he is with his woman, his head go correct?
Or a nagging wife overtime turned into a peacemaker?

Its called complimentary temperaments.
Instead of bringing out the worst in pple, it fine tune them for the best.

If u feel u can't bring out the best in her and viceversa, let her go. Still very early.

Marriage is not banging and smooching.
What u can't manage or handle now,u can't once u tie the knot.
All d best.
