I'm not sure what to do when my partner is angry. What are some tips to keep in mind?

1. Try to stay calm and listen to your partner without getting defensive or upset.
2. Let them express their feelings without interruption, even if you disagree with them.
3. Acknowledge that they have a right to be angry and that it’s OK for them to feel this way.
4. Ask questions to better understand the situation and how they’re feeling.
5. Remind yourself that anger can be a natural emotion and does not necessarily mean that you are doing something wrong.
6. Focus on finding a solution together rather than assigning blame.
7. Take time to cool off before responding so that you don't say anything you will regret later.
