My H's MLC

[Ssarah]

Matt165 it's crazy how they all act in more or less the same way. It's almost like they're following a manual or script.

For my H, although he said this f-in house, it's not the physical house but the people inside that he can't stand. Like you said though, it's everyone else's and everything else's fault that they feel the way they do. we all push their buttons and make them explode. If it wasn't for us, they'd be happy. He won't outright say it but it's the kids that he can't handle. When I'm just home, or the kids are asleep, he is relaxed. But when the kids are around, he is anxious and on edge. They are 1 and 3. What in the world could he expect (I know, nothing, because no logic flows in his brain). I'm actually happy when he's only around for an hour or so during the day because it's less work for me. I don't try to shield them from him or make it better for him, it's more sheilding them from his outbursts. That's why the egg shells. My daughter has such fear in her eyes when he does these things. It's so heartbreaking to watch because as I mentioned before, they had such a close bond and now she's afraid to be around him. And of course 10 mintues after he storms out she's crying I want daddy, I want daddy. It is insane the amount of damage they can do.

As to GALing, I went out for dinner with my cousins Saturday night and he saw a picture one of them posted. I'm wondering if part of his moodiness came from seeing that (he was fine Saturday). Up until this weekend I told him if I was going out and this was the 1st time I didn't mention anything.
