I have a problem. I am impatient. I have always been big on texting/emailing, etc.. and sometimes I over-analyze information. I can write a lot, convey a lot of information, and then get ancy and impatient if I don't get responses that are as detailed as mine, or are very short (when I write something longer). I know I have a problem. I always feel like I have to defend my answers, or retort quickly so that my thought is heard. It is very very difficult for me to just stay quiet, let things go, stop thinking about them, not react. The other night, my wife was bitching at me about xyz during a fight. I don't like cutting her off, and I didn't want to walk away in the middle of her talking because it always makes matters worse. So I sat there, and literally held my pose and my eyes looking directly at hers for probably 3-4 minutes. I just stared at her. And when she was finished, I walked away. That was VERY hard for me to do. It is hard to get a text from her that insinuates something, and for me to not respond back to correct her, defend myself, or give her my point of view.

Outside of just trying to get used to not doing these things, I am not sure what else I can do.
