What would you do if your man took his anger out on you?

I don't even think being diagnosed with cancer is an acceptable reason to come at me like that. Cry, if you need, but there's basically never a reason for a dude to yell at me.

Well leave. The mask has slipped, an angry man tells the truth about you, He can't keep his nice guy act in check when he's riddled with emotion. As soon as disrepsect is served it's time to go because things will not get any better, It will only gets worse.

Men don't even yell at their fellow men like that even if they did something horrible so it's clearly an abusive pr!ck.

He would be firmly asked to never speak to me again in any capacity unless he wanted to test just how overprotective my burly, insane, redneck family is. And that's only if he makes it past ME first.

Not even my dad gets to talk to me that way.

Call the cops if needed and leave.

Realistically? I’d start sobbing and I wouldn’t be able to stop. I’d probably curl up in a ball on the floor and plug my ears or I’d go into the bathroom, lock the door, turn on the fan, the sink tap and shower to drown out the sound of him screaming, then I’d sit and lean against the door to make it harder for him to get in.

While I was sobbing I would think about how I know I need to end the relationship, all the barriers to leaving and how I’d just like to act like this whole thing hadn’t happened so life could go back to normal. I’d think about calling the cops.

Provided I didn’t have to call the cops or the man didn’t escalate, I’d cry myself to the point of exhaustion and fall asleep on the bathroom floor.

I’d wake up several hours later provided the man backed the fuck off or didn’t call me an ambulance for mental health intervention, and I’d turn off the water in the sink and turn off the shower.

I’d prolly be cold so I’d snuggle up under as many towels as were there.

I’d lie there stunned, feeling shocked, traumatized, sick, dead inside…then I’d close my eyes for more sleep.

If I slept I’d stay there until morning, if not, I’d wait until the house was totally quiet to get up and go to bed.

Then I’d fall into a depression and do my best to act like it didn’t happen while I figured out what to do.

How is this even a question?? He would be dumped faster than light travels

Honestly I'd tell him he needs to make a doctor's appointment to check to make sure he doesn't have a brain tumor pushing on a part of his brain that's causing him to act so out of character. I'd text a friend to see if I could stay with them potentially. Id honestly be worried something was medically wrong that was causing this behavior.

My dad would do that over little things, and I'm only recently realising how not normal that is 🙃 fml. Losing a job and cancer are a much bigger deal, but still a decent guy would be able to speak to you about it, not lash out first thing.
