I don't understand how one burnt roast can cause such an explosion
Like the baby whose needs are unmet, he has a tantrum. Unfortunately
for you, he has adult weapons to use in this tantrum, be they
his vocabulary, his knowledge of your weak points, or the use
of his fists or the threat that he could get physical.
It can be very confusing to you to see the adult body and hear
the adult vocabulary (sometimes a very sophisticated one) at the
same time as feeling the infantile rage just underneath the grownup
veneer. Are you dealing with a man you need to fear or respect
or are you hooked up with a baby you need to comfort or at least
tolerate?
(By the way, it hopefully helps you to identify his baby side
but it is not a good idea to tell him he's behaving like a baby
- it will only make him feel more belittled and therefore revengeful
toward you.)
