She’s About To Call Off Her Engagement Over How Her Fiancé Acts When He Watches Football

This 27-year-old woman has been with her 27-year-old fiancé for 4 years, and they got engaged a bit more than 1 year ago.
From the time that she met her fiancé, he has been pretty much obsessed with football. He does like a lot of different sports overall, but he doesn’t like anything more than football.
Her fiancé always reads things online about football news and always wants to chat about anything and everything related to football 12 months out of the year.
It didn’t take her long to adjust to her fiancé’s passion, and she even made an effort to keep up with what’s going on in the sport, so she has something to talk to her fiancé about.
She also has gotten a jersey to wear to show her support for her fiancé’s favorite team, even though she likes another team more than the one he does.
What she’s saying is that she really does her best to try to support her fiancé and his passion for football.
“Anyways, the problem isn’t him being obsessed with the sport,” she explained. “It’s the way he acts when watching the games.”
“He. Absolutely. Loses. It. I mean screaming at the top of his lungs (literally), hitting the floor, hitting a chair he’s sitting in, slamming his desk if he’s sitting there, the whole 9 yards.”
“I have extreme anxiety, and I’m very sensitive to loud noises. I also get extremely anxious and emotional when a man specifically is yelling near or at me. He knows all of this, and we’ve talked about it many times.”

As long as her fiancé’s favorite team is winning, he still yells, but it’s happy yelling instead of angry yelling.
That’s not as difficult for her to deal with, though she can’t say his behavior is ideal at all. As soon as her fiancé’s team begins to lose, she’s scared to be around him or say anything wrong to upset him further.
She and her fiancé both have off on Mondays and Sundays, so while he’s watching football games, she’s the only one doing their household chores or running errands.
She’s too fearful of ever interrupting her fiancé’s football-watching to ask if he can assist her with anything because she does not want to make him angry.
Her fiancé has gotten worse about getting so riled about around the games that she’s thinking she needs to call off their engagement entirely.
“I just told him tonight that I don’t think I can spend the rest of my life dreading Sundays or Monday/Thursday nights for half of every year,” she said.
“It feels absolutely ridiculous to end a relationship over something like this, and I get over it in a few hours, but when it’s happening, it feels like the worst thing in the world. It’s also made me dread football season when I used to love it myself.”
“I just truly want to know if I’m overreacting or if he has every right to let loose and do whatever he wants when football is on, and I should just learn to cope.”
Do you think she’s overreacting here?
