This is driving me crazy. I was really starting to enjoy my single life because it\u2019s less stressful and dramatic for me. He causes me to raise my voice and I get irritated by everything when he nags me so much. The thing about it is we got a kid. I try to be nice, but he always has to bring up some nonsense to provoke me. How can I deal with this without losing my cool so often?<\/p>\n<p>On the verge of insanity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dear On the verge of insanity,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Try to have more patience with your ex and don\u2019t let him allow you to be so irritable, frustrated and angered all the time. These are not emotions you want to display around your kid. Also when you go around crossed and miserable people are discouraged to interact with you and you can also give strangers the wrong impression.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s petty don\u2019t allow it to faze you. Once someone sees they\u2019re getting to you that\u2019s what they like- a reaction, so just don\u2019t be bothered by it. However, stand your ground when it\u2019s necessary. As young adults you should be able to both have a civilized discussion even when you disagree and let him know that as well. Pray for the patience and understanding to deal with him- that will facilitate your peace of mind. Additionally, what you do with your life is your prerogative, no one should try to control or manage it so you don&#8217;t have to answer to anyone once you are not in a relationship with him.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem?
