Right.

Dale stated once in the house he used to get bullied at school and stuff. Well over time, his anger has mounted and now at every regualr interval will break into anger, over the stupidest things. Its been evident and possibly this backs up why. He seems so eager to defend himself and his 'turf' (Jennifer) that he doesn't realize that no one is attacking anymore.

Things like this make you want On The Couch back.

If it isn't then I'm shocked snce this is the case for me, aggression has bilt up and you fly of the handle at any interval because you don't realize that people aren't attacking you anymore. If Jen isn't careful he might just take it out on her and then she will sway towards Stuart.

He is very defensive but I think his claim of bullying was exaggerated, was it not?

I'm not saying he wasn't bullied, but as far as I interpreted from his 'stories' to Jen it was simply that women liked him more than men, and men were reluctant to be his friend? (Correct me if I am wrong).

Also, it's something innate in his personality that makes him aggressive. A lot of people that face a barrage of taunts and violence through school actually slink back into the background and don't get "aggressive". The response to bullying is innate, and so his behaviour is just him.

as i said in my earlier posts ther was a dark side to dale and he as let his mask slip numerous times now, also i think dale lacks in communication skills therefor the frustration manfaests itself through anger and aggression,as you said jen has to be careful not to play games with him he just might blow again an this time go to far.i feel dale needs reinforcing all the time by jen which is not a healthy basis for a relationship the sooner this anrealistick relationship is over the better not just for them two but for the whole house

You may be right but I dont think Dale is as deep as that. He did it because he dislikes Rex and wanted to defend Jen.

Dale was acting agressive out of choice, nothing more nothing less, he made a choice to step into something and fuel it further.
