No. He has anger management issues. Get rid of him.
Oh come on. In my younger years I've punched an inanimate object or two out of frustration. Thrown a golf club, etc. That doesn't equate to anger management issues. As long as it wasn't directed at her I don't see a real issue here if this is a rare occurrence. If the guy is doing this every day, that's when it becomes an issue.
Interesting that so many posters are calling this kid "immature". How many of you were fully mature in your 20s? I sure wasn't.
The same was said by every victim of domestic violence. I say what your partner did is a red flag. No sane person should ever punch anything.
Thanks for saying that, I was coming back to say it. Oh no, not MY Teddy/Alfred/Rocko/Poindexter/etc!

I also witnessed someone else punch through a glass window!
You might want to start hanging with a more self-controlled crowd. None of my friends ever did that sort of stuff. Nor did I.

He slugged the space directly above her head. That is a red flag and an obvious warning. I'd be long gone in that former relationship.

Did you punch walls???
And throwing things? Ahhh... no. Just no.
Anyone in my world who does that will be marched right to the exit.
I don't 'do' violence... unless it's on the movie screen - yeah, I'm a horror junkie. But not IRL, nuh-uh. No violence.

Actually it does.

It was right above her head. It absolutely was directed at her. There is a real issue here.

Irrelevant. This isn't about being immature. This is about a violent act that was clearly meant to intimidate the OP.
No, it is not. I would avoid. In truth I’d probably be mad if it was my house and tell him he needs to get this fixed. If its his house, I would not visit again. He is mentally unstable in general and it always tends to repeat or worsen.

Have you read about that guy in the papers in those intervening years?
Im just going to say that it is better for someone to take their frustration out on an object then on their partner. I have known many who hit a wall or a door or a pillow and never use any form of violence on their spouse.
