[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 204432, member: 3626"] I'm not a yeller but I do have a tendency to get my point across. The ref would have had no doubt that I was upset with the whole thing and so would the league when I got home and either started making some calls or writing some letters. Sadly, I would also have been angry at my mate if my mate didn't support me. Self-righteous anger can and does bleed over into other areas if I know I'm right and I get criticized for not just hoovering it up (not being able to say s u ck is really dumb). So, I do understand your hubby's anger at the ref and at you. You may have understood why he was angry but all he sees is that you told him not to be angry or at least not show his anger. That really is a negation of his feelings. Don't misunderstand, I'm not saying his pouting is right, just that I understand it. When you're a kid, it's semi-acceptable to pout and take it out on those around you. As an adult, you need to learn to get over it and be an adult. That means you dscuss why you felt belittled, negated. You find acceptable ways to handle the unfairness of another's behavior. You don't pout and sulk more than one hour. That's just childish. Hope he starts acting like an adult soon. It really is time. [/QUOTE]
