How to react to a grown man's temper tantrum?

As sure as he's a man is as sure as he is going to going to act like a little boy. Tell him to get over himself. I am married with 3 boys. Have a father, Grandfather, uncles etc. All men act like this. He'll get over it. I actually laugh at them when they act child like. Just ignore him and DON'T apolgize. You did nothing wrong. God forbid they have a cold they act as if they are dying. While we as woman can have pnuemonia and take care of the kids,work,drive and run a business. Just laugh it off as men are , well FUNNY!!

The Jones fellow who threatened to burn Koran books is neither a Reverend nor a Christian - he simply is a non entity who wants to have his five minutes of fame on the world stage and has no other qualifications to achieve his desire. His face provides his expressed hatred and information of his character and abilities. He is to be pitied for his pathetic outburst. Oops- sorry- just who is sufferring from childish tantrums? So pleased to know you are sick of tantrums and you are to chew your cookie and give up your tantrums.

OHHH I have a man just like that!! Leave him alone and you act as though you are angry at him now and not talk to him. don't give him the time of day he will get over it and when he does you continue with it just for a little while longer see how he likes it...

The more you try to explain your self the more he will climb on his high horse. You told him once you didn't finish what you were saying and that he misunerstood, that should be enough !!!

You can not reason with men who act like little boys in mens bodies!!

The only temper tantrums I put up with are my toddler's. I'd run far away from a grown man who still throws them. His mom musta gave in one too many times. See what happens?

Disentangle yourself from this "man" at any cost.

He is very unstable and will display his immaturity and illness many many times, in many, many ways as time goes on.

I would be interested in whether or not he has other signs of Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder.

Hurting his feeling IS hurting him. Just because YOU think the comment was nothing, he apparently took whatever you said very personally. If he is a friend of any kind, you should pick up the phone and apologize. Even if it's to his voice mail (if he won't answer). At least he would know you understand that sometimes words can cut sharper than a knife.

Just ignore HIM. That's total crap.

If you worry about it then his immature @ss wins. So don't.

Tell him very calmly that the behavior is unacceptable and that it will not be tolerated. (I would give the same advice if you were actually dealing with an ACTUAL child)

Good luck Rise above!!

Leave it alone. My man does this sometimes and if you go to him, he'll get his way and feel like that's acceptable behavior. If he wants an apology, than he can come ask for one.

It is very important that you listen to me! His behavior IS the number one RED FLAG for emotional abuse. Don't let him play on your emotions. He obviously doesn't have control over his and this is the first RED FLAG!!! Women like to feel like they can help, but believe me, in a situation like this it'll only make yourself a victum. If I we're you, I'd seperate myself from this man as much as possible.

sounds like you need to cut off this child! that is horrible...i would at least tell him that is bothered you, or when he does something you dont like throw a tantrum and show him how dumb it is
