My Partner (M22) gets very angry when playing games. I’m (F21) what can I say to better communicate how I feel about this?

Post Body

My partner plays PlayStation games a lot. When he does he becomes really aggressive. He never directs this aggression towards me but being around the aggression is really triggering as I have previously experienced domestic violence and abuse. He thinks it's not fair for me to have asked him to be less aggressive when playing games. He says it shouldn't be triggering because he's not being aggressive towards me. Has anyone got any advice on talking about difficult past experiences to help your partner better understand how you feel?
