To refuse to play on my game?

DH bought me a village building game for the PC. Whilst playing it the computer went tits up and the graphics card broke. DH said it was my fault, I'd broken the computer and it meant he had to buy a new graphics card. He was in a mood with me and went on at me about it. He later admitted that it wasn't my fault and that my simple game couldn't have broken the graphics card.

He's since bought a new graphics card and all is hunky dory. The athletes willies are flying around, the computer is back up and running and DH says I'm free to go back on my game. I haven't though as it's really put me off in case it breaks again! He keeps telling me to put it on and when he asked why I wasn't playing it I told him it was because he chowed at me and blamed me for breaking it so now I dare not play it in case it happens again. He says I'm being silly and he never meant it but he clearly did at the time! Am I being daft??

Willies ha?

What game?

I'm not sure who is being unreasonable, but I'd like to hear more about these athletes' willies!

It's banished, a really simple game that even an old pc could play

Am I being daft - yup

Is he being daft by blaming a game that i doubt pushes the graphics card to the limits - yup

Play the game and enjoy the willies, or go play PUBG and shoot people to get some frustration out..

Your H is a massive twat. As he's already admitted, the broken graphics card was not your fault, so I wonder what the motivation was for lying and making you feel bad. Play your game and if anything goes wrong again, speak to someone who knows about computers and who won't make you feel like shit because they can.

Twat.

It's going to take more than a brief apology to fix this. My H has done the same. Flown off the handle at some nonsensical thing, frightened me into cowering in fear, and then later asks why I am not repeating the behaviour that 'caused' it. The damage lasts months, if indeed it can ever really heal. Once you've seen that side of them, it'd hard not to see it all the time.
