You need another catagory...

I didn't display any physical violence...

My spouse didn't display any physical violence...


JMHO...

I didn't display any physical violence on D-Day...

I did a week later when she had the nerve to ask me to help her pack... I got real pissed. I threw several of her water globes at her dresser...

A part of me still regrets that I couldn't get to the OW..but then again, you guys, probably wouldn't have gotten the chance to know me..probably would have been in prison...I can beat some butt..

Mimi..AKA..QUIET STORM...

I actually tried to kick my WS where it counts.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />....

then I banged that d#*& phone on the floor when he wouldn't let go of it.....

And in all honesty, he actually didn't try any attempt of retaliation...which did shock me...

Are "lies" considered sort of a d-day too? Like mini d-days? Ex: My first d-day I was told about one affair....... "it was a few innapropriate emails of a sexual nature".

My mini days (the lies revealed) went along the lines of "Yes, I lied, I did plan to meet the OW and screw her. The date and time were set but she cancelled" and "I did tell her I loved her" and "yes, I lied, we did have phone sex but not here in our house" and then "yes, I lied, I did have phone sex in our bed" .....All the while referring to original d-day of "it was a few innapropriate e-mails with sexual content".

And of course do we only vote on one major d-day or all four? And again, what about the mini d-days? Do they count.

I'm not trying to give you hard time at all Pep. I think this is an interesting thread myself.

I'm also curious as to who generally doesn't show anger anyway normally, but does at or after d-day.

Husband was unfaithful to me before and after our marriage, at least 7 times. I found out 13 yrs into the marriage. Trickle truth for an entire year. Several different d-days, so it was more like a d-year. Difficult recovery.

It takes a lot to piss me off enough to get violent... but when it hits... look out... And usually there's no warning...

Zero to POW! KA-BLAM! BOOM! in 1 second flat.

That's what happened when WW told me to stop sitting on my a$$ and start helping her pack... I went from calm cool and collective to LIVID immediately. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

But coming after her is what she wanted me to do..expected me to do..

She wanted to keep up the PRETENSE of being SO SCARED of me... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I decided NOT to go to HER LEVEL...

HEAD UP..CHEST OUT...AKA..learning SELF-CONTROL...maintaining SELF-RESPECT...

Ummm.....mine is not a short answer. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Well then, my worst angry outburst in this whole stinking mess was when I tried to physically attack my H some time not long after dealing with the anger over d-day #4, and not getting my recovery needs met, and him not letting me vent over my anger. Well, that night I VENTED. Not proud of it.

And you know what else? My H actually pushed my buttons, and I let him.....arrrgggg....to "get me" that angry I felt. He participated in the anger, out of anger. Before the "attack" I shoved a chair at him and he shoved it right back at me with a grin almost on his face, not to mention furious. That's when I lost it.

I probably yelled at him on most of my mini d-days (revealed lies) with some berating thrown in for being an [censored] and a liar. It was the hurt talking "innapropriately". I told him where to go a few of those occassions, especially if he was defensive when I vented after a new lie was revealed.

I knocked over a few drink glasses. I knocked a picture off the wall when he ignored my pain, again. I knocked a few more things over in the garage during some of the major d-days and mini d-days.

The really difficult part is when the d-days and the mini d-days come, and they just keep coming.....they compound the anger you would have felt if there were just one d-day or just a few mini d-days. It is really difficult to control anger at that point and I had to many times for over a year. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I could have lined all the OW up, along with my H, and just beat the crap out of all of them, after the last major d-day, until I released all the anger I had on them. However, when I did lose it and attacked my H, after I saw the look on his face I stopped. I hit him probably 7 or 8 times. I don't know if I would have felt as sorry for the OW. Anyway, I don't really think I'd ever attack them because it's just not right. Not to mention I wouldn't want to get in trouble legally. Now, if one of them threwh the first punch and I didn't instigate it, well then......they're mine. I don't think any of my friends ever considered me a bully until they did see my anger "one" day. I don't go around trying to pick fights.

And yes, I am working on anger from all of this with a very good counselor.
