Find a place to be alone for a\u00a0while like the bedroom, garage, or yard.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Do something enjoyable and\/or productive to \u201ccool off,\u201d such\u00a0as take a nap, fix something, or watch television.<br \/>\n<strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Once you have cooled off, talk to your woman and let her\u00a0know why you were or still are in a bad mood.

Let her tell you every detail of the issue. Ask\u00a0questions, but do not offer solutions unless she asks for them. Women like to talk out loud until they\u00a0come to their own solution.
