Steve, that's not how I understood Sokaku's note on anger. What I understood them to be saying is that it can sometimes be harder to stay DBing when the spouse is consistently kind. Because it could potentially easier to see fake "hope" in the situation, or to pursue. When the WAS is being "angry" the DB process may make more sense to the LBS because they can physically see the need to focus on themselves and not the angry, spewing spouse.
