Quoting Stephanep: If she is unaware that her mood swings and so disruptive, then she will see no need to change, and I will ALWAYS be the one to remove myself. This I see as unfair! OK, you can tell me its petty, but it builds resentment and takes away much of my desire to spend time with her and our daughter. So if I always REMOVE MYSELF, how is that going to work?
Hi Steph, But your wife is aware of her bad moods. She basically admitted this when she asked if her mood is the reason for you leaving. By removing yourself, you are removing yourself from her perception that her M to you is the sole source of her unhappiness. Now if you are no longer part of the problem and you continue in her presence to be strong, confident and happy, she will start to wonder why if you are happy why she is not. By your actions you are influencing her to look within herself for the answers.
