nysugarlips Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I consider my self well rounded, street smart and saavy. Heres the dilemma, my boyfriend has punched things during intense arguments we have had. He has never raised a hand at me but this scares me. He's punched a window at a bar we were at during a fight. He's smashed a wooden door and left a gaping hole in a wall at his apartment. Ive talked to him about it and havent made much progress. His last act was 2 weeks ago at his apartment. He says he's sorry when its over and had to take him to get stitches once. Is it possible that I may be next??? maybe Im over reacting??
aubree1982 Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 I agree, I think it's possible that you could be next. It seems like your guy has anger management problems! How often does he do this? If I were you I'd tell him he needs to either do something about his anger or you'll leave him. Just think about if you had children together, would you want his behavior to be a roll model for your kids?
Author nysugarlips Posted October 24, 2008 Author Posted October 24, 2008 Good points indeed. I have thought about it and as usual, I look at him and think, no way. Not me. Isnt that what victims say? I really have deep feelings for him! Ugh!!!
manugeorge Posted October 24, 2008 Posted October 24, 2008 You're NOT overreacting! Even if you are not next, how much fun is it to be around an emotionally stunted person who can't deal with their anger constructively? Hitting and punching ANYTHING when you're mad seems really immature to me. Like that achieves anything but destroyed property and stitches:rolleyes: He needs better outlets for his anger.
