The way I read it from the Light Novels it was more like a mental trauma what he suffered from Raynare's attack on him not the idiotic idea that he was cursed as it was written for the Anime.

I actually believe in this problem more than what the Anime portrayed his problem to be because it is a very realistic scenario that could happen to anybody because when he was killed the guy was a normal person.
