Had my ex-wife criticise me for my temper recently, so much for getting her in the mood for reconciliation, after she found out I threatened someone at her church for laying a hand on my daughter. (My daughter has an apparent "bullying" problem at church/school - mostly BS btw, and one of the parents gave her a slap after their son pulled the bully card on her)
The thing is, they asked for it! Hell then I went off at her for not going off at them herself. She said that they are 'good' people and I'm making a bad example for our daughter. I didn't make a scene, I only calmly told them what would happen that if one of them laid one more hand on my daughter, and that's it!
A bad example? Hell I would want my daughter to do the same when it comes to her kid!
I actually consider myself rather tempered, like, I never start fights, but I always finish them. Somethings trigger me sure; daughter threatened, racism, etc... but even though I embrace my anger every time - I'm very calculative when it comes to expressing it, and I always try to comply by the law (nowadays) even when it gets physical, at least all the grappling/fitness training good for something!
With women I don't let it get physical, but I don't hold back with their spats either - ex-wife included - and she says that she can handle my temper but others can't, and that those parents I threatened were frightened by me. What did they expect?
I happen to be a nice guy! But it's because I'm a nice guy that I get REALLY pissed off when people try to take advantage with me or my family, and they learn! Besides I made my point with those parents who hit my daughter, so what's the problem? Bah!
So hell, what's wrong with having a bad temper as long as it doesn't lead you to stupid things? I can deal with the consequences of my actions, and it's always worth it!
