Is it normal my boyfriend screams when he’s stressed?

Hello!!! My boyfriend moved from Northern Siberia, Russia, to where I live in Canada when he was 21, we are both 24 now.
He is a very monotone, stern, calm, “few words” man. But when he feels like he has been under high-pressure and stress he has to let it out with a big long yell, like how they do in the movies where they scream into pillows. He does it maybe once a week or every other week.
Honestly I find it really funny and when I poke fun at him he jokes back “It is better you hear yell than be strangled, dah lady?”
I guess it’s his coping mechanism and funny little way of releasing tension, I just didn’t know that it was something people actually do outside of movies lol

    If he needs to do this so often I wouldn't be making jokes about it if I were you

    Oh, yeah, that's freaking hilarious. Gotta love the Russian sense of "humor".

    It sounds like he's never really learned how to deal with emotions, and they build up until he has to physically release the tension. So far, it's only been shouting, but there's no guarantee his release will be so benign if he is more stressed than he has so far been.

    Or he could get a punching bag. And that way he could be in shape too
