Reader asks how to handle sister-in-law who explodes when losing board games

Family dynamics and teasing
The writer describes how the woman becomes explosive, upends games, or storms off when she does not win. Family members often laugh and tease about this reaction instead of addressing the behavior directly. The sister-in-law is otherwise considered a normal and lovely person by those who know her.
Impact on new relationship
The woman has recently started dating a new partner who is described as absolutely lovely. Observers note that the man appears to tense up when she has a big reaction after games. The writer worries this dynamic could lead to personal and professional consequences for the sister-in-law.
