What happens to you when you get angry? Does your face turn red? Does steam start to come out of your ears like in cartoons? Do you start to feel hot?

Imagine being so angry, it actually made your blood boil. It would probably take something really big to do that.

The actor David Arquette and his wife, Courteney Cox, one of the stars of the TV show Friends, recently broke up. Sometimes couples break up because they make each other’s blood boil. But there are rumors that David and Courteney split up because he cheated on her.

Those rumors make David very angry. He says it makes his blood boil when people say he cheated.

I saw the interview in the Opera Show .He seem very sad and frustrated . We can feel his sadness .His heart has been broken by Courteney Cox. He has been gone through alot ,especially when he became addicated to alchol .His life turned upside -down .And she did nothing about it .She  just gave up on him . I think she should have been a little bit  supportive and a little bit helpful.That what  a good wife does if her partener goes through hard time .What she did is complaining and asking for seperation . Any way he still loves her .that's really abvious and clear .
