Is it normal that my boyfriend gets so aggressive over games?
My boyfriend is 26 and he can be really aggressive when it comes to games. We've gotten in tons of arguments because of Pokemon. (I know, its ridiculous) I remember once he was telling me about super training and all I said was "Aw, that's gonna take forever." and he got really mad at me. I told him its just a game and he said "Don't tell me its just a game, I can make money playing this." Another time when he got mad at me I tried telling him again its just a game and he cut me off,: "Don't you DARE tell me its just a game again." He said that with his teeth clenched. He had been nagging me for months to get into Magic: The Gathering and today I decided to buy cards because I wanted to play. Ironically, I asked him to teach me and he said "You don't have enough cards to play, you need like 1000." and then I tried saying something else and he cut me off and he angrily said something like: "You don't have enough cards to play so I'm not going to teach you, quit trying to drag it on and on." I love him to death, we've been together for about 2 years. He's bought me many things, gone out of his way to see me, and has told me he loves me all the time. He gets so aggressive sometimes, but has never hit me. I'm hurt and confused as to why he acts like this.
