[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the posters that it is a form of intimidation/emotional abuse and that it can lead to physical abuse. Especially when done in anger during an argument or fight. My ex started with throwing things and it did escalate to physical assault.

But the other point I’ll make is that it on its own makes a high conflict household. That is distressing and harmful (particularly if children are in the home). It is ok to decide that this untreated, unpredictable anger is a deal breaker. It takes a toll on people’s nervous system to be around unpredictable anger. And you can decide you don’t want to live that way.

I don't know that this is always happening due to unpredictable anger. Often it's something that is actually life threatening or incredibly destabilizing. I've seen online stories where the wife finds out the man was married to someone else out of state and threw something. Where they committed a crime they concealed and the wife is reacting to this. The unpredictability can also be in the person that the other person is reacting to. Often something deceitful and damaging that the other person does which then destabilizes another because it affects them greatly and they were never consulted. I'm not saying that it is normal behavior, but it's not always someone just having a bad day themselves and taking it out on another.[/quote]
