[Confidential] Ever yelled at your significant other in front of your friends?

The following is a confidential post. If the member would like to reply to any comments please PM me

Back story...
My gf has this problem (I don't want to say what it is). It isn't something huge, but it is something we have discussed on at least three occasions in a calm and civil environment. Each time I have expressed my concern in regards to the problem and each time she has acknowledged the problem and has vowed to try to fix it.

What happened.
Over the weekend I had some friends over at the house and the problem came up. I took her aside and in a calm cool manner called her out on it (in a completely different room). She persisted with the problem and I again called her out on it (now in a more condescending tone). She persisted. Then I lost it. I started yelling and getting pissed off. By this point my friends knew something was up. So essentially, I was yelling at her in front of all my friends.

Now, I feel pretty guilty about yelling at her, especially in front of my friends.. But, I honestly couldn't contain myself because she refused to fix the problem even after I calmly confronted her about it. Which is why I feel somewhat justified in publicly calling her out on it.

We haven't talked about it since (two days ago), but we have texted each other a bit. But, the texts were not related to the incident at all.

I'm just curious what your thoughts on this is?
