He Closes Me Out......
| Thu, 03-04-2004 - 7:18pm |
My boyfriend has killer mood swings. He can go from 0-60 in 3 seconds. We can be talking of future things, or laughing about something, then something sets him off and poof....he closes me out. When I try to get it out of him what is wrong.....he says he doesn't want to talk about it and to "stop asking what is wrong".
He is the most amazing man......loving, caring...great dad. But this....it just makes me feel awful inside. I end up racking my brain trying to figure out what "I" did wrong. Believe me...I am no picnic all the time. I get crabby too, but geez, he can go days without talking.
I love him with all my heart. I know..."give him space, let him figure it out for himself", "it's not you". Believe me, I've heard it all before. I am willing to do all of this, but can someone please tell ME how to handle my extreme sadness and get through this without becoming an emotional trainwreck?
