Ladies, ladies, ladies. I have a question for you, this is just curiosity and please let's not be too serious here and have a little sense of humor but please answer with honestly. How do you show or express displeasure to your husband, boyfriend or significant other? I know that different situations would trigger different displeasure but let me just pick one. When you are upset with your man about something what do you do? Do you roll your eyes at them? do you raise your hand and give them the "Whatever Attitude"? do you scream at them? do you give them the cold shoulder or the silent treatment? do you throw a temper or do you just pull your claws out and start scratching away like a feisty cat? Now I know that some of the lovely ladies here will beat me up for what I'm going to say but I think an angry woman is sexy as long as she doesn't go too psycho on me So ladies tell us how is for you, feel free to give examples and remember let's not bee too serious.
If I am ticked, I usually wait to mull things over and then speak, but while I do that I tend to avoid eye contact. A little line from INXS is "words are weapons, sharper than knives," and I try to choose mine carefully. I'm not always ready to talk about it right away. Rolling eyes, "whatever" ... we don't do that, it's just rude. I also don't like raising my voice.

Me, too. I guess some would perceive that as the silent treatment - but I'm a very sensitive person so a lot of the time, I'm arguing with myself over whether or not this is something that should upset me. Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. Then, when I'm ready - I'll let him know what's going on in my mind. I'm also a wear my heart on my sleeve kind of person - so it's pretty obvious when I'm upset. If it's something simple - like he's in a bad mood and keeps snapping at me, I'l grin and bear it until I've had enough and then I'll tell him to snap out of it!
I tell him that what he's doing is annoying/upsetting me.
Crazy, I know.
Pretty much me too. Nothing gets right to the point as saying, "When you do ____, it annoys me." Or sometimes it helps to give a solution too, "I don't like when you ___, but I really appreciate ____."
If he's not around, I might stew a little bit though. Grumble to myself and all.
The only time I go silent is when I know I am going to say something hurtful and that I will regret. But it's more of a long pause while I calm myself down and get reasonable. But I honestly can't remember the last time I had to do that.
Flip side of this (and a bit of unasked for advice), I am also sure to point out when things make me happy or when I like when he does stuff. Just to keep the scales in favor of me showing I really do appreciate him.

I've never believed in the concept of "don't go to bed angry." Most of the time going to bed angry means I get to think about what I want to say, and in the morning I can be calmer and more rational about what I'm upset about.
Also, there are few things more frustrating than a guy not taking you seriously because "you're so cute/sexy when you're mad." We were talking about resisting urges in that other thread--if that sentence is uttered I really do have to resist the urge to stab someone with a fork.

You are so weird.
I do the same. I tell him why I'm annoyed and we discuss it like adults who care about one another. Although my husband tells me just one evil look from me lets him know I'm not a happy camper.

All of the above except putting my hands on him. I'm not violent. I wear my heart on my sleeve though. It may come out now or later but it's going to come out if I care about him.
I once dated a guy who wanted me to hit him when I was angry. He expressed that he wished I would. I dont get that! He was cray cray.
