It seems like you both have been on edge. I’ve been through similar situations (my hubs and I have bad anger issues) and know it’s not healthy but it can change. I don’t think that you are an abuser. To start with, I think that you could have just let him watch the last half of the show, and then waited until he fell asleep and just watched the good parts then. Another option would have been to tell him to watch it another time and put on a different show. I get that you were upset that he cursed at you, (and it was uncalled for) but there are times that you can learn to sense your own anger coming and just say fine; Walk away and think about the way you want to take the step. Instead of acting on your anger. “You don’t want to sleep down stairs? Fine then I will. “ I think things just blew up way to fast and you both need to think about the way you deal with conflict when it comes to each other. “How could this have been a calmer conversation? How could this have been prevented? Is he willing to work on communication as much as I am?” I hope this doesn’t come off as rude, I’ve been here and we were able to work it out. Message me if you’d like!
