GIRL'S TANTRUMS
As wonderful and lovely as women are, they can occasionally be quite a
handful to deal with. Between periods, drama with their friends,
stress, and other problems, women can throw some serious tantrums from
time to time. These tantrums can involve a lot of crying, passive
aggressiveness, and sometimes, even screaming and throwing things with
the express purpose of actually hitting you with them.
In most cases, these tantrums are probably harmless and just a
passing storm of emotion that will dissolve in a few days or less.
However, they still can be extremely difficult to deal with. What guy
wants to struggle with so much drama?
How to handle your girl’s dramatic outbursts
So guys, if you are looking to find some ways to help you get through
your girlfriend’s epic temper tantrums, this article is for you. Here
are some great tips that can help you weather the storm!
#1 Go for a walk. Your girlfriend can’t argue with
you if you aren’t there. So if you find that things are too heated and
you just need to stop it as soon as possible, just get out of your
apartment, or wherever you are, and go for a walk.
Going for a walk will help you clear your head, and it will create
some much need space between you and your girlfriend. It will also help
you get rid of some of the stress as both exercise and staying away from
the cause of your stress are sure to help you calm down. Your
girlfriend will probably also calm down during this time.
#2 Try to find a way to communicate effectively.
Sometimes, if your girl is throwing a temper tantrum, it could be
because she feels like she isn’t being heard, or she feels like she
isn’t getting adequate space to express herself.
One strategy that you could try is to just give her some time to
speak about everything that is on her mind without you saying anything.
If you can give her the time to just get it all out, you may be
surprised at how effective this can be for avoiding a future rampage.

#3 Listen to music. Listening to music is another
great way to help you get through these temper tantrums. If you can find
a song that expresses pretty much exactly what you are feeling,
listening to it can help you process the feeling and get through it.
Perhaps your girlfriend can try listening to some music to manage the
bubbling rage she has within her. Maybe if she listens to “Ride the
Lightning” by Metallica, it will help her get all of her rage out of her
system. On the flip side, a calming tune like some soft jazz can also
help her calm her nerves.
#4 Distract yourself with TV. If you have been
arguing with your girlfriend all day because she is throwing a temper
tantrum, taking a break to watch some TV can help calm things down. Who
knows, maybe after a few episode of “House of Cards” on Netflix, you
will forget why your girlfriend was arguing with you in the first place.

However, note that this is just a momentary distraction. You’ll still
have to deal with the root of the problem after your show is over.
#5 Go out for a drink with your friends. Letting the
steam out is always better than keeping it all bottled up. When you go
out with your friends, you’ll be able to express yourself to people who
will understand and support you. Not only will this help you relax, but
you might even get some tidbits of advice from your friends on how to
handle this delicate situation.
Do keep in mind that you should only do this if going out with your
friends is NOT the reason your girl is on a roaring rampage. Otherwise,
you’ll just give her more ammunition.
#6 Get some space from you girlfriend. If you don’t
live with your girlfriend, avoid seeing her in person until you resolve
the issue. You don’t want things to escalate, so only see her if you are
trying to resolve the issue, or if you have to see her. Otherwise there
is a good chance you can just get sucked right back into the drama. If
you are living with her, it may be a good time to go sleep on your
friend’s couch for a few days.
This allows you to handle your own respective issues on your own.
Since you’re not in your girl’s immediate sight to take out her
frustrations on, she may find her own way of handling the reason behind
her tantrums.
#7 Ask some of her friends to talk to her. This is
exactly why befriending your girlfriend’s friends comes in handy. Talk
to one of her closest friends and ask for some advice on what you can do
to help her calm down. There may be some issues that your girlfriend
hasn’t mentioned to you, so her friend may have more insight on the
situation.
Once you’ve done this, ask the friend to talk to your girlfriend on
your behalf. If the very image of you incites rage in your girlfriend,
having a neutral person involved may be a good idea. [Read:

#8 Get her some chocolate. Chocolate seems to have
superpowers when it comes to making women happy. If nothing else is
working, try giving her some chocolate. Side note, you may also want to
just keep some around the house. It can be good when random tantrums
appear. [Read:

#9 Get her some ice cream. Ice cream is another
magical food that can work wonders when it comes to quelling female
tantrums. If you suspect that a tantrum is coming, stocking your freezer
with a few pints of Ben and Jerry’s may be a life saver.
If it doesn’t help her, then you can just eat the rest. It’s amazing and will probably make you feel better anyway. [Read:

#10 Break up with her. If the tantrums are coming
too fast and thick, you may just have to break up with her. A man can
only handle so much. At some point, you might just have to say that
enough is enough. Despite your efforts to solve whatever’s bothering
her, there may be an anger issue that you can’t solve on your own. Do
yourself a favor and call it quits.
In the end, too much drama can take its toll on you. In these
situations, you may just have to accept that you can’t change her, and
move on. If this is the case, don’t worry. Once you have gone through
the break up, you can always whip out Tinder and start browsing girls
who seem more easygoing. [Read:
