My (24F) boyfriend (30M) is mad at me for joking around with him over a football game and refuses to apologize. Am I really the one who’s in the wrong here?

For those who may not know, the semi finals were on tonight for the NFL. My boyfriend and I drove down together from Atlanta to Ohio to spend some time with his brother and his girlfriend this weekend and he just absolutely ruined the whole trip for me.

To give more context, I’ve been living with him the last few months in Atlanta to make the best of working from home. We’re supposed to move in together starting in the fall this year and before that, it was a long distance relationship so I left all my friends and family behind to spend more time with him before that period.

The last 6 months we’ve lived together, I’ve NEVER once seen him watch or speak about football. He’s not a fan and never has been, but decided that tonight’s the night. He wanted to bet on the Bills to make the game more fun to watch, but the website he was using wouldn’t let him do it due to some Georgia gambling laws, so he asked me to in turn put 50$ on the bills so we could cheer them on together. I happily obliged but during the course of the game as they were losing, he was getting really upset over it to the point where he was putting a damper on everyone’s mood. To lighten things up, I poked fun at him for his seriousness towards the game and he completely lost it on me.

He refused to speak to me and even his brother and the girlfriend were telling him to relax. I put my pride aside and went to sit beside him and hug him but he wouldn’t have it. He said that he was mad that I wasn’t supporting what he was passionate about and doesn’t wanna talk to me because I’m always against him. To reiterate, I never once voted for the opposite team and I put my own 50$ toward the bet for him to have a good time.

I got upset and went upstairs. I could hear his brother and the girlfriend try to get him to go up and talk to me but there was not much effort on their end - which I completely get as I’m sure they don’t wanna get involved.

I now hear everyone downstairs having a great time and I’m just so upset that no ones told him he was acting childish and tried a little harder to get him to come up and talk to me. Even worse, he doesn’t realize that on his own.

I feel very alone and isolated with no one on my side and I don’t want to tell my family or friends because they’ll literally laugh at how ridiculous this whole situation is. Do I have a right to be upset about this or am I really the one who’s going overboard here?

tl;dr: boyfriend is mad I’m not supporting him towards his passion towards the bills tonight. He never once watched or mentioned football before this and also used my money to place a bet. He’s currently downstairs having a great time with everyone else and I’m upstairs alone with no one on my side. Am I overreacting here?
