So first, he’s playing mind games with you. If he’s frustrated he should say he’s frustrated, saying it by threatening violence is shitty as hell. Also, then you could say that you were doing the same, empty words to express your frustration when you reproached him. And seriously, how is that bad but what he did was okay? So by his logic reproachful words are worse than threatening words? Is he an idiot? I’d much rather have someone reproach me than threaten violence.
And see my other comment about love and abusers. and as for hoping for change. Even if he saw the problem and wanted to change (he doesn’t even do this) this type of behavior doesn’t change over night. That thinking is just movie fantasies. When someone is this messed up, it takes years if not decades of therapy to get that shit fixed, and often even then it doesn’t get better. You willing to waste that many years being miserable, only to find out he can’t change much anyway? Why you wasting your time hoping an abuser will change, instead of going out there and finding someone who treats you right from the beginning.

Posts must:

We are enforcing the two rules listed above by making all titles start with ages/genders in the following format:
[##X][##X], [## X][## X], or [##-X][##-X] where ## is the age and X is the gender (currently M, F, T, A, NB, FTM, MTF but more can be added). You can have more than two ages/genders listed, but you must have at least two at the beginning of your title. Here is an example:
Which I helped her get into and took her to every appt. Now she doesn’t go, he takes her phone, cut off all her friends, she’s not taking her meds with him and she stopped going to therapy.
This is not normal and quite terrifying. Please do not go back to this person. I understand that leaving will leave you with a void in your life, but you should not be with this person.
As someone who partakes in my own fair share of gaming, I know what it's like to get extremely frustrated and annoyed, I'll occasionally spout off the occasional “wtf”, or “what the f** is this guy doing??!”. That said I firmly believe that whether or not the person at the other end of the game hears you, wishing cancer or death on someone or their family over a video game is downright warped. I don't care how expressive you are, you're unwell, something is off up there, bar none. You've also expressed that due to past trauma, his explosive outbursts are triggering. Your home is supposed to be the safest most and stress-free place place on earth, and he is actively disturbing that ecosystem. So, despite sharing those feelings, rather than recognizing the problem and finding both rational and realistic solutions to address his destructive, rageful tendencies, he instead opts to suggest you get headphones…. What?
Don't allow any forms of normalization of this behavior. No, it's not healthy or “stress relief”, at best he's causing major disruptions at home. At worst, he's shown you what kind of person he becomes when deeply upset, and how he resolves conflicts with a partner, through deflection.

You could try WhatsApp for anonymous messaging maybe? Although I don’t quite know how the app works well enough…

No not really because I kind of enjoy the work here and wouldn’t want to mess up my career.

Only if you don't get help for your issues. Otherwise like an alcoholic reaching for another bottle, you're going to reach for yet another loser.
HE broke up your family. HE has already tapped out and told you he’s done. The family is already broken.
You sound a little insecure and bitter. Is there a past reason why you’re acting like this?
