It takes a lot to make me angry. I know I’ve said that before, but the truth is I usually don’t like to argue with people. I don’t get angry if someone has a different opinion than mine. I’m happy just agreeing to disagree in most cases, but every now and then I’ll find a topic worth getting riled up over.

For years, my husband has known about my mild temper, and ever since we started dating, he has amused himself by seeing if he could make me angry. He’s tried for years to make me angry by discussing topics like politics, music, news or any other topic that we genuinely don’t see in the same light. We are polar opposites, so finding the topics isn’t hard to do, but making me angry enough to start shouting is.

As the years go by, it takes more and more effort on the part of my husband to get me angry, but during last week’s political debate, he tried his hardest, since we disagree at every turn.
