Angry Partner May Also Be Sad
Married couples usually are pretty good at recognizing each other’s emotional state during conflicts.
However, researchers have found that one significant emotion – sadness – often may be missed when a partner is angry.
Moreover, the anger expressed during a quarrel may represent more than just the current topic of disagreement.
Baylor University researchers say the presentation of anger during a marital argument may reflect the overall climate of your marriage rather than what your partner is feeling at the moment of the dispute.
