really caught my interest and I wondered how other women handled their husbands moods.



<<DH is sort of moody tonight. He won't tell me what's wrong, but that's typical, so I'm just waiting it out like I usually do>>


Do you walk on eggshells, go to another room, try to make his world more cheery?

DH has become increasingly moody over the past few years. I've never been quite clear exactly when it began or what may have triggered it. The moods are very obvious to everyone but himself and we generally try to steer clear and yes there are plenty of times when I'm walking on eggshells around here as simple things can be taken the wrong way and twisted around. It at times can make me angry and resentful and leaving me with not quite knowing how to handle it. Trying to make his world more cheery is impossible since most of his take on life is caught up in the negative. Life around here can be a roller coaster and truly frustrating at times.

I believe men do go through manopause and have their issues at midlife the way we do. Also, I think sometimes their moods are a reflection of ours. We often mirror each other. Ideally, it's good if one spouse can be up when the other is down to pull that one back up.

It depends on my mood and what he's 'moody or angry' about.
