My leo and his short fuse

Here's the thing. My boyfriend is extremely short tempered. his temper is ALWAYS at the edge..waiting to blow. It's not just with me but with everyone and everything. He's the quintessential ''angry young man''. He has really high blood pressure and this really worries me. Tell me leos, what calms you all down when you're angry?? I give him time to cool off and then try to reason with him politely..after that he's all normal. He comes across as intimidating, but he's a really kind and warm person and helps anyone with troubles, even the people who dislike him. But this temper thing is bothering me a tad too much, cause it's gonna blow someday in a big way..and calming him down might just be a temporary fix. he absolutely will refuse to get help from any outsider to sort out his issues. My methods help him calm down, but doesn't get him to stop getting angry at things. Could you tell me how you control your anger, calm down and what relaxes you and help you reduce your anger??
Thanks a bunch!!

This sounds exactly like me, apart from the high blood pressure.

But I don't think this is necesserily an astrological matter altough Leos are known to be dramatic, people with short fuses usually have issues, either in the past or some sort of struggling within themselves. It could be that the image other people have of him does not fit the image he has of himself; it could be something as simple as not having a father figure etc. These are just examples. So do you know of any personal issues that might be the cause of his temper?

Anyway, one thing that almost immediately calms me down is if the other person isn't aggressive back. If he/she is then I can get really really nasty :-/

sounds like he has issues rather than being angry because he is a leo. Leo's lose their tempers when pushed but aren't angry people.

You can't control his anger and you can't help him get help if he feel nothing is wrong with him with that being said, keep tap dancing around his anger and soothing him basically wearing yourself out and making it all about him or get out.

One last alternative...

When he see he can control you with his anger, he see you hoop jumping by your attempts to soothe him well you are actually teaching him to continue being angry around you b/c you are going to ENABLE by soothing him, you soothing is feeding into his narcissism (me me me mentality) and giving him the green light to use his anger to control you.

The one thing I noticed that worked when I was dating a leo many moons ago is I would say nothing, I wouldn't soothe him, I wouldn't say one word, I would look off in the distance and just sit there with a blank look on my face and he would end up soothing me and asking me to forgive him but yeah that's how it worked for me, I didn't put any of my energy into his anger, I would say nothing and go on about my life, go do something else that made me feel happy and leave him with his anger bitterness all by himself and he didn't want to be by himself, he wanted me around him thus I noticed him being less angry around me and I can attribute that to me not feeding into his angry bitterness.

This sounds plausible. I'm going to take this advice seriously. He may have had issues in the past..but i want him to start getting over it. thanks! 🙂
