Assuming that this anger stems from something occurring within the relationship and not from a history of personal anger issues, communication is the bedrock that deflates anger to the point where it eventually extinguishes it.
People are a lot more susceptible to getting angry in a relationship when they don’t talk about an issue in a punctual and constructive manner.
The immediate instinct is to either act up, start pointing fingers at who is to blame or just remain angrily silent.
When they play mind games, they believe they put themselves at an advantage where they are able to maintain control of the relationship and steer it in whatever direction they choose.
People who play mind games have a very negative disposition when it comes to relationships.
For some, doing a background check on someone they are interested in dating puts their mind at ease.
To put out the effort over the coming weeks and months in getting to know this person and allowing them to get to know you as you go out on dates together is no small feat.
For some people, such a level of commitment is better served when they have done their homework on the other person’s background.
These are typically men who are used to being in control in other areas of their lives, whether it be at work, with colleagues and family members, etc.
Being in control is so much a part of his life and persona, turning that controlling element of his personality off when in a romantic relationship would be akin to cutting off a limb.
