Nevanna -
Oddly enough, H has mentioned this. He puts it as "you always take it so personally whenever I am grouchy or irritated, and it isn't always about you!" I know it comes from monitoring my abusive father's moods - for my dad, it was necessary to my physical safety and emotional well-being to anticipate and constantly watch his moods.

I don't need to do this with my H. I guess an appropriate response is to ask once "are you okay?" if I think something is wrong, or not to bring it up at all? What do you think? Should I just trust him to share his emotions when he needs to?

Thanks for the observation, Nevanna!
