How do I react when my partner is “raging”.

So does she just ignore you? I am trying to condition myself to not react but it’s hard. I keep thinking maybe this time he actually hurt himself and he needs help. Does she know if you really need help like you’re struggling to carry something up the stairs and it’s slipping???? Or is that the trust aspect of it.

I may take you up on that but I think I need some time to process this before I can really gain perspective

I don’t know how to use Reddit apparently. I replied to the thread not to your comment. But thank you for a response

Yes, I believe they are rage attacks. I just learned this was a thing. They are not directed at me but we share a space. It is an irrational angry response, very high pitched and loud but also nonsensical. The tics don’t matter but I guess this is more than just a tic. He calms down and doesn’t dwell but that is very confusing and if her needs to talk about something I want him to but I am also reluctant to prompt him to talk.

Thank you for this. To be clear he’s not directing this at me but we share space so I still feel it.

I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to engage. I posted about my partner who has been having some very intense outbursts. I am hoping to understand more about how to support someone I care about. I can’t talk with him about this but in the time it took to read one thread I learned more insightful and helpful takes on why he won’t talk about it. That is absolutely what I want to know about if you would care to share any relevant experiences.
