Quote: I do wish, though, if that's it, that it could come wrapped in a different package...the anger and "you always" and "you never" and "I've given up thinking THAT will change" reminds me too much of THEN.
Don't you HATE it when Mr. Grumpy puts in an appearance? My H has been doing a little of that lately too, and I have to admit, I let it rattle me when I shouldn't. In my case, though, H doesn't see it - I've tried to tell him I'm picking up these little clues his mood is slipping, and he insists he's in a "good place". I know the signs, though, and can see his mood is on a downward cycle.
I think what I need to do, though, is be more careful not to let his mood drag me down with it, and work harder at being the "tugboat" that turns him around with my good mood. (That, or slip some extra Prozac in his OJ! )
