Hi Juann
It would certainly not be a surprise if the nasty behaviour was connected to a week of being gamble-free. There is a void to be filled when an addiction is controlled and many gamblers find it hard to fill that void in the early days.
Arguing takes two however, so I suggest that you maybe walk away when you feel the needling starting and tell him that you don’t want to fight. Then, I think, it would help if you busied yourself with something that pleases you. Maybe, a little later you could ask him to join you in an activity letting him know that you care and that you are willing to talk – just not to argue.
I hope perhaps to ‘meet’ you in the group later
