Didn't ask what was wrong, just small talk. Then the kids ran in the room telling me about their day and off I went to play with them.
Later, I gave them showers and got them in bed. I took a shower and came in the kitchen to get a drink, she came in, I told her I was going to bed. She gave me a kiss that barely touched my lips and went to watch TV. I didn't ask if she was coming to bed or not. She slept on the couch all night.
Got up this morning and more of the same, all pissy. Got ready for work early and she asked why I was ready so early. I said I had to go in early to get some stuff caught up. I gave the kids a kiss and walked through the kitchen to get a cup of coffee to go and told her see you tonight. She said OK and I left. No kiss this morning. Didn't want one anyway.
It sure is easier when things are going smooth! I can't let her get to me, I know. Don't let her bring me down. I am becoming a better person for me and my kids and her if she chooses.
I love my wife, but not the person who is in her body right now.


This will happen, and sometimes often, don't let that discourage you. In fact this may be part of her testing you to see if you'll back down and turn into a wussy when she starts acting up.

Your gains have not evaporated, hold the line where you are, you're doing fine.

You guys didn't have an argument, she was just bitchy and crabby, let her be, as long as you aren't, you're better than that.
