Maybe then he would start cleaning house, or something.
Clean the garage, not the house. If you clean the house you will either be doing it wrong, or trying to say that she does not clean the house properly.

eliminating the cause of the problem is a great idea. Good luck figuring out what it is without losing your head (or other parts).

Most guys run and hide. Maybe the post title should be how do you escape an angry woman.

It may not be right to run and hide, but it is what most guys do. Too many have learned that we are incompetent at dealing with this situation and usually only make things worse.

Now if her complaint is "you are never around" Hiding is probably a very bad solution.

Are you crazy? Suicidal?

An angry woman is NEVER wrong.

She may be wrong later after she is no longer angry. However during anger, no not wrong, never, not ever. Trust me, I live with five of them.

lol, if I dated a girl like that I'd probably break things off. My favorite thing to do is be like, "Oh you're so cute when you're angry, I just want to pinch your cheeks." Of course that makes her even angrier, so I laugh harder and say, "God you're seriously so cute!" It's true, though, girls are cute when they are angry, it's adorable.

It is probably safe to assume that you are still single. You can safely assume that this will remain the case for as long as that remains your practice.

HAHA, no it just gives me a good opportunity to dump stupid girls, because if they get that angry over something I don't need that imbalance in my life. I don't like getting yelled at, I don't get yelled at by anyone else, a girlfriend certainly shouldn't be the one doing it.

Have you found girls who do not ever get angry for what seems like no understandable reason? Are they dead or aliens?

Yelling I do not tolerate. From anyone. However there are much more effective ways to express anger than yelling.

Yeah I don't get it, I have never yelled at one of my friends in a friend-capacity, at least. I have yelled at my former business partner several times before. He's a great guy, but too much like me sometimes, he's very stubborn and we had an argument earlier this year where we were both yelling at each other, not in an insulting way, but like he wasn't getting my point after I explained something 10 times, and he was frustrated with me because what I was explaining to him didn't make sense in his mind. It had to do with the percentage distribution on projects, basically, the "Hollywood system" and I didn't make it up, I wasn't telling him that I thought it was a great way of doing things, only that it was "how things are done" by the big guys, and we could either follow that or figure out something else. But the more I explained their system, the less he seemed to understand, so yelling ensued over the phone, haha, until finally things were a bit better resolved.

What I don't understand, fundamentally, and I'm no relationship or girl expert that's for sure, is why I can have guy friends for 10 years, even 15 years, and never have yelled at any of them, or called them names in a serious fashion (of course I call all of my friends douchebags as a joke, they do the same to me, that's guy nature, we like to joke with one another), yet with girls sometimes if you date them for only a few months even you get yelled at or called names. I don't really want that in my life. I think problems can be resolved rationally, or should be able to be, and if a girl cannot have a rational conversation I really am not interested. I'll take a simpler life and happier life single than a more complicated, argument-filled life with a girl any day. I cannot handle that type of stress on top of my work stress, too, it's just too much for one person to take. I don't like the idea in general that a relationship should be "work." It's not work to be friends with ANY of my guy friends. I talk to them because I want to talk to them, I enjoy talking to them, they have insightful or funny things to say, and I'm enriched as a person by conversing with them. I hang out with them for the same reasons, and to do fun things like work out, play poker, go to bars, whatever. It's never any "work" to be friends with them. I don't see why it's fundamentally or theoretically impossible to have a girlfriend where it's much the same type of relationship. I can see how if she was living with me, that would change the dynamics and it might be some "work" to live together without a lot of problems, but considering I don't want to live with a girl any time soon I don't see why it should be "work" when we're just dating. That seems like, well, not any fun. I want a relationship for the fun and enjoyment, I don't need to take on more work. If I wanted to do that, I would literally just do more work and it would at least benefit me long-term
