Would you let your partner throw things when angry?

Tonight I was in bed with my partner watching TV. This is a little embarrassing but I’ve had a really bad tummy at the moment and passed some wind (he does this all the time- as couples do).

He got angry, shouted at me and as he flipped the
covers to get out of the bed he threw the remote in my direction. It hit my brow bone. He said he didn’t mean to and that he was sorry and he walked off.

I feel really upset about it. I also feel upset that he’s walked away without seeing if I’m ok. He’s sulking downstairs watching tv.

Just realised that you are the poster whose FIL has been sent to prison for viewing child sex abuse and whose MIL is supporting him.

Oh lord, that family.

And now the husband's a wife beater.

Honey, theres nothing for you in this relationship. Nothing. Flee my lovely. Flee like your arse burns. 🔥🔥🔥

I rather admire the OP for saying no thank you, I don't want to talk about that, I'm going now. A good decision to put herself first. At last. Not hounded. Read the other threads, none of us are professionals, it's deeply frustrating.
Entire family groomed lifelong by sexual predator FIL, including now the OP, trained to accept, minimise and normalize his behaviour, even after him being imprisoned.
OP a teacher, responsible in her future career for decision making decisions that safeguard children in her care. Discussions of future children born into this family and what access should be allowed.
Sometimes OPs raise red flags for other users with their own behaviour, especially around safeguarding of children, not uncommon in abusive families or relationships. It's not always isolated, lack of safe guarding over one issue often reveals a wider pattern of neglect due to poor decision making, because of abuse being normalised.
I'm the child that wasnt safeguarded from the sexual predator FIL, whose family knew what he was and let him live a normal family life abusing their kids after they were abused in childhood. Ignored it. To maintain the lie of a happy family. Physical emotional and sexual abuse of everyone.
I'm the child that found out my parents knew what he was like and chose to leave me in his care anyway.
I have a child of my own now and he doesn't see any of my family, because it isn't safe for me, or for him. They can't babysit, we don't go round for tea. My abuser is dead, but my family aren't safe people to be around, they don't make safe decisions.
It's led to the breakdown of my marriage due to DV, after a life of poor decision making, especially in relationships not safeguarding myself.
So many voices and lurkers here in support of the OP, truly, I wish I couldve walked away from the dangerous abusive family when I was her age and never looked back. It has ruined my life, my career, the abuse never dies. I wish my mum could've said no contact with FIL. But she didn't, couldn't, I don't know.
So yeah, not nasty, not hounding, it's triggering for so many women to see OP not able to safeguard herself from this family. It has escalated for her, it's DV.

Yeah but he is outraged that you are upset that he threw something in your face that injured you. Fuck that shit OP, this guy is not going to stop there.
