Aita for breaking up with my boyfriend over a chess game?

All names are changed for privacy reasons. So for some background, I (M40s) recently divorced my wife, "Tina" (F40s), because she caught me in bed with my now boyfriend, "Will" (M30s), and I decided to finally come out as gay and have a life with him, we've been together for ten months at the time of writing this. Tina and I have a son together, "Joshua" (M11). She recently started a new relationship too, with my former therapist, "Michael" (M40s).

Today Will and I were playing chess, and I was helping him by giving instructions and tips on which moves to make, since I'm better at it than he is. Well, we started a new game and I let him go first. After a few turns, he asked me to let him win and I agreed (Note: I wasn't really paying attention to what he was asking, and I also didn't think he would actually be able to beat me), and he won the game.

Now, here's where I might be the asshole- I lost my patience with him at this point and we both stood up, then I threw several pieces of furniture at him, which I admit, wasn't polite, and I probably could've handled it better, but I wasn't thinking straight in that moment. I then went off and brought him his suitcase, and he left.

To add insult to injury, I later received a letter in the mail, which I opened to find an invitation to Tina and Michael's wedding. I was unaware that the two were engaged and I went to speak to them about it. I may or may not have once again lost my temper and ripped up the invitation I had been sent, and then things escalated and I ended up hitting Tina, which I felt bad about immediately after I did it, but Michael made me leave. This happened in front of Joshua if that makes a difference.

So, AITA?

Falsettos characters as things my friends/family have said

Marvin: “I love dictatorship. I will become one.”

Whizzer: “When two people hate each other very much, they have violent gay sex,”

Jason: “I collect father figures like Pokémon cards.”

Trina: “I wanna sit on that goddamn man.” (about Mendel)

Mendel: “They had monkeys back then?”

Mendel: “You don’t really think about the monkeys.”

Cordelia: “Do you want this cookie? It absolutely does not have fruit in it.”

Charlotte: “Does it have have fruit in it?”

Cordelia: “Yes it does I lied to you.”

Charlotte: “Why do you keep throwing chicken at me?” (To Cordelia)

"gay whizzer" i say, the crowd applauds

"gay marvin" i say, the crowd cheers

"bigender sunscreen and coca cola, sandcastle destroying, shark tooth collecting, hawaiian shirt, disney towel, beach vacation stepdad mendel." i say. the crowd vanishes.

I have developed a habit (as in I did it two times) of listening to the falsettos soundtrack and drawing them

Sometimes a family is a mother, a father, a child, a stepfather who eats dirt, a stepfather who is pretty, and the lesbians from next door.

Mendel stealing Marvin's wife and then just absolutely eating him up with the "At 80 an hour" line. Mendel, you didn't need to go that hard you already have everything he wants
