I’m not going to belabor the points in this article for two reasons: For starters, the woman of average intelligence knows that it isn’t wise to have a bad temper. So, I wouldn’t dare insult that intelligence by spending more time than what’s needed on something that should be a given. Besides, I just checked my mailbox, and my DVD boxed set of “Mr. Belvedere” just arrived, so I’d rather spend my afternoon watching that.
However, for those who don’t understand the dangers of a temper, let me quickly break this down.
Within the context of love, we’ve seen countless instances where a person’s temper was the final straw that broke the relationship’s back. That type of occurrence is nothing new. If you have an anger problem, then more times than not your significant other will grow tired of it.
But how does your temper affect things both during and after a breakup?
For many women, this is where their troubles begin. The anger that’s caused by any number of reasons — cheating, lies, laziness, etc. —is often acted upon in a way that gives the man all of the bargaining chips.
A prime example can be found in the following picture:
Now, this was clearly done by a woman whose temper got the best of her due to her boyfriend cheating. Unfortunately, that’s not the way that this story is going to play out. Why? Well, by defacing his car, she gave him the one card that every man has tried to play at least once following a break up.
She gave him the “I told you that b—- was crazy” card.
That card is the ultimate trump card when it comes to assigning blame following a break up. Now that his car is spray-painted, that can be his answer to any question that will arise about the demise of their relationship.
“Dang, dude, why did she spray-paint your car?”
“Man, I told you that b—- was crazy.”
“But did you cheat on her?”
“No, but she was crazy … so, she probably made that up in her mind.”
“But she’s out here saying that you dogged her out.”
“That’s what crazy people do! She’s just mad that we broke up.”
You see how that works? So ladies, before you go lashing out in a fit of blind rage, stop and think about the repercussions of your actions. If someone has done dirt on you, remember that it will always find its way to the light … but that light shouldn’t be encouraged by a can of paint or your keys digging and scratching into the side of his car.
Understood?
