No swearing, huh? There were only four texts, and "Game fucking over" was the third.
Every PP here - like you - who focuses on whether he's right to be angry has COMPLETELY missed the point here.
It doesn't matter why he was angry! A man does NOT have the right to aggressively smash a glass in the sink in front of a woman, or child or physically weaker person. It is intended to intimidate her and it is a known precursor to much more violent behaviour against the physically weaker person.
This is how men control women, and how women become trapped in horrific relationships. These men THREATEN IMPLICITLY with their actions - a violently thrown object, a punch against the wall, standing in front of her so she can't leave the room, grabbing her wrist, grabbing her face, driving aggressively. These actions are all intended to show the woman his physical power and his ability to hurt, even kill, her.
In most cases, men don't even HAVE to hit their wife: she will become intimidated by glasses being thrown and she will do what he wants. Which is EXACTLY why this man threw the glass. And why he's being extremely aggressive in his messages. And btw, telling his wife not to RETURN TO THE HOUSE SHE LIVES IN is also flagrant abuse: this fucker is threatening to render his wife homeless.
Women are socialised to second guess and doubt themself. That's why, when OPs come on MN and tell us about the dreadful abuse they receive at the hands of their male partners, the OPs nearly ALWAYS say, "Am I being unreasonable?" So any PP who comes onto this thread here and ignores the flagrantly aggressive behaviour of the male partner and instead says, "Well, he was right to be angry" - YOU ARE COMPLETELY MISSING THE POINT! And you're absolutely NOT helping OP, because you are making her second guess herself. That is not support. That's helping the patriarchy.
