The star explained: 'Sabrina and I, very early in our relationship I was very stressed so I had these massive anger tantrums that were like explosions.
'She was like, "Who are you?"
'I was always the first to say, "Hey, if you're not happy, leave. Move." It was kind of like a male instinct.'
The couple clash because they both have 'strong personalities' but the Mountain Between Us star continued that he's trying to do better at avoiding conflict.

Idris said: 'Sabrina and I both have strong personalities and typically it's Sabrina who says, "Look, I don't want to fight".
'I've been getting better at it recently but when I do it, I get nothing back. When she does it, I go, "Thank you".'
The couple recently insisted they are in a 'good place' together and love working on their podcast and new lifestyle brand S'able
