I left an abusive relationship 2 years ago. I'm wondering if this has made me ultra sensitive to any type of aggression of if I genuinly have something to be concerned about. So anyway man and I were at a gig, got a few drinks down him and he started mouthing off about music snobs who were not showing enough respect to the band. This was the first sign - later in the night he took my drink off me and drank it - I thought that was a bit rude? We got home and I asked him if he was having second thoughts about something we had been planning as he indictated earlier in the night that he was. He got quite aggressive and started saying stuff like "why did I? What did I say then? Tell me what I said then" but it was almost as if he was 'squaring upto me' when he said it. We were actually sat down but does it sound ridiculous to say he seemed to be sticking his chest out a bit?? putting out a bit of the alpha male persona? I was uncomfortable enough to tell him I felt he was getting aggressive and I couldn't talk to him whilst that was the case. He backed off immediately and softened his body language. I'm now concerned that he has form for getting agressive when drunk?
