Husband rages at games and mimics me

I play video games with my husband, it's a hobby we both enjoy and I like spending time with him this way.

However, all he does is rage and complain about every aspect of the game. It really kills my vibe and then it makes me annoyed too cuz he's ruining my fun.

I used to just stay silent but then he got mad at me for 'ignoring him'. So, I switched to saying 'mhm'. I don't have anything else to say, I don't want to agree with him (because I don't agree) and I don't want to say anything to encourage this behaviour.

I've had many talks with him about how I don't like his attitude when we play but he just says 'oh so I'm not allowed to be annoyed/upset' or 'oh so I can't complain?' 'I can't say anything ever I guess', 'you rage too' (no where near as much as he does but he refuses to admit this).

Anyway, tonight he was doing it again and I said 'mhm' and this time he mockingly imitated me and went MHM in an exaggerated high pitched voice. I called him out for it and he just said 'thats all you say to anything I say, if I did that to you, you'd be mad'.

I haven't spoken to him since (it was like an hour ago), but I know eventually he's gonna come into our room acting like nothing happened.

The mimic thing really made me mad but I can't put into words why... anyway, any advice would be appreciated. If I try to talk about this he'll just say any of the above examples I gave...

He isn’t that good because he dies a lot and complains. He is probably better than you which is why you think he is good. So in Overwatch do you go in to quick play or ranked? Let me guess he likes you to play Mercy or a support role to keep him alive.

I game both PVE and PVP and while anyone can get annoyed people like him are a PITA and I avoid teaming with them.
