i used to be a pretty angry kid. i was just angry at everything, my parents, my friends, myself, the world at large and after a while my parents put me in therapy to try and help me out. that worked pretty well but it was only when i started to run did i discover the best way to exert my anger. by the end of each run i felt way too tired to be angry and once that "fire" is lessened, i found it so much easier to think rationally about why exactly i was angry and address it instead of just blowing up.
now along with running, i have a boxing bag that's fun to just whale on for a while until i either calm down or tire myself out to the point where i don't have the energy to actually be mad anymore.
some other things i do is just pop my headphones in and blast some music or isolate myself until i trust myself not to blow up at anyone.
super happy for you and your partner, hope this helps anyone looking for tips!

do you have pent up rage that you wish to expel in a controlled environment? maybe you're wanting to work out but the gym isn't cutting it. maybe you're aching to be touched in vulnerable and intimate ways and the public setting excites you. whatever it is, consider joining a contact sport!
wrestling or rugby, martial arts, gymnastics, or boxing, or football, there's so much to choose. my partner and i fell in love while learning how to fence. nothing more romantic than poking each other with thin swords.
go get touched by somebody.

one of the best concept albums of all time. follows a young woman named Ethel Cain (the character, not the artist) as she encounters various men and eventually meets her violent death at the hands of one of the men. truly visceral and even disturbing at some parts but so so good, really recommend giving it a listen
