Have you ever just lost it?

Medical problems have been tiring me out lately.
So I slept all through the middle of the day and to nearly supper time.
It might seem kind of crude to some people but we grab our food and take it into the TV room most nights.
The wife had her plate and I went into the kitchen to get my chilli dog fixings.
Bread, chopped onion, catsup and I like to slice the hotdog in two so that it isn’t as thick.
Grabbed some veggies to go with it.
I don’t like beans in my chilli so I was spooning beans out of my chilli into the garbage can when my plate tipped and my food went onto the floor.
I scraped it up and put it back on my plate and went into the tv room in a rage.
I sat down in my chair and sat my plate down and just lost it.
I yelled about beans in the chilli and just kept using God’s name in vain and throwing anything handy against the carpet except for my food.
I jumped up like a mad man and ran around the house cussing and screaming.
My wife was finished eating so she went outside and sat in the yard swing.
After I had calmed down and finished eating I went outside and asked her if she had been to the post office today.
She answered with “ what is your problem now!”
I told her just that- that I can get an answer like that when I ask a simple question!
She went back inside and I went to the post office and picked up our mail!
Things have been a lot quieter around here since that all happened.
Just wondering if it ever gets to anyone else.
It doesn’t get to me often!
But it seemed to just build up until I exploded!
 

Why is it that we seem to save our best behavior for strangers and lash out at those that mean the most to us. 🤔

I’m not so bad since I stopped working but I still don’t have enough patience to live with someone 24/7 and remain respectful towards them at all times.

All we can do is keep working at becoming better people. 🫂
 
There's an old song, Aunt Bea, by the Mills Brothers: You Always Hurt The One You Love.

I can relate to GP44 losing it, however. When I get hot under the collar, run for the hills. I have been known to actually trash my house in an uncontrolled rage. My mother could be the same way.

I always feel such remorse afterward and am totally ashamed of my actions and behavior. Thankfully, this is not the norm for me, as I am really a person of total peace. But, there are certain things that used to push my buttons beyond the pale.

Then everyone suffers.
 

I’m not a violent person but it was like I couldn’t quit being angry and my anger fed on my anger until I let off enough steam.
That was the most angry that I ever been in my life.
Maybe it is good for a person to let off some steam sometimes rather than to just keep resenting things.
I read somewhere that if you just suffer in silence it gives people the idea that they can continue with what they are doing to you.
I realized today that it might be important that someone sees the angry side of you when it is called for rather than seeing you as the suffering in silence kind.
A man can be so nice that he almost invites abuse.
Everybody knows that our younger son is like that. Although a lot of his friends and colleagues love him his women have abused him a lot.
