Boyfriend broke sofa during an argument

[Blashed]

Hi.
Me and my partner had a bit of rough night last night with arguments Today i contacted him to seek some resolution over the phone. During the discussion he became argumentative, shouting and began punching his sofa. i didn't realise till he told me he had just broken his sofa and following that he continued to punch it yelling and then cut the phone off.

Last time he did this he punched his steering wheel during an argument and sent me a photo of his fist to show me how much he "lost it".

Is this a normal way to release anger?

Don't let him move in with you, ever

And don’t be telling yourself it’s because he feels things so passionately or any other romanticised bullshit like that, in order to justify his ridiculous attention-seeking outbursts.
It’s exactly as it appears, the tantrum of a giant and dangerous toddler.

Haha. No.

Good Lord. He’s giving you a prelude of worse to come. Get your skates on a hightail it out this shitty relationship, is my unasked for advice.

He's preparing you. Seeing if you'll stick around, accept his violent outbursts. Then he'll escalate. You would be insane to stay in this relationship. He is showing you what he's like - believe him.

Teach him the lesson that he's the kind of person who gets dumped, and that not all women will tolerate this kind of behaviour.

He is a walking red flag! Run.
he even has the audacity to send you a picture of his fist wanting sympathy for his anger issues 🤯 honestly get him in the bin he is not okay and it is not okay to be emotionally abused

LTB

We shouldn't call it anger issues or loss of control. Because it's not. It's aggression and it's abuse.

The guy sends you pictures of it. That's not someone who feels remorseful about their behaviour. That's someone threatening you. Which is aggression, not anger.

Its deliberate, its controlled and its abuse.

It's worrying that you're asking this question.
What was your experience of relationships growing up; did either of your parents get angry? Have you had past relationships with angry men?

To be clear, this behaviour is very obviously not ok and you should run for the hills.

You do realise that sooner or later it'll be you he thumps?

I hope you are now referring to him as your ex-partner. A violent temper is something you should not put up with it, whether or not it is taken out on an inanimate object or not.

He's showing you what he's capable of, take the warnings he's giving you and run.
