Ok so I’m a gamer, I completely understand how it feels to lose in pvp type modes. I’ve shouted things like “wtf man” or “damn it” fairly tame, and I get over it quickly.
my boyfriend (33) however, screams & curses at the game, slams his controller down, he’s broken controllers and other objects around the house. He then realizes he needs a break so he gets off but he still stomps around the house, and slams doors and throws stuff. He doesn’t direct anything at me but he will respond in a sulky irate tone. I try to allow him to express himself and let him vent but sometimes it becomes to uncomfortable to be around him.
I come from an abusive childhood, so it’s kinda distressing at times when he doesn’t take control of his emotions and I’ve discussed it and he apologizes and explains that it just makes him want to rage. I just go to my office and browse on my pc until I feel he’s snapped out of it. Do you think he will ever realize the extent of his anger? Is there anything I can do to help, or should I just continue staying out of his way in these moments? I tried the talking, not judging and offering comfort but he doesn’t seem to respond to any of it. Should I be worried? 😅
