I am sorry you had that experience. I wasnt going to reply to this thread but your comment got my mind going. If you are single now, I hope its how you want. And if you are in a new relationship, I hope it is the best it can be.
my step dad was the same way about sports and drinking and becoming abusive. To the point of physical violence directed at me and my mom.
I am a loud fan. I enjoy the passion that a good game can produce in me. I do yell at the TV sometimes. I am a season ticket holder for my local pro soccer team. I am seriously the loudest fan at one point of every game because I start a chant and everyone in the stadium hears me and responds. And I yell at the ref and opposing team all the time. Always in good fun and I try not to be personal. Mostly trying to get a laugh, get the other team on the wrong foot.
But I draw the line at abusive language.
I admit I drink too much sometimes and can be an asshole
BUT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR DIRECTED AT A LOVED ON IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE.
FULL STOP
