How Do You Handle A Married Man Who Keeps Having Mood Swings?
Hello ma,
I am a young married woman. My marriage is about 3 years and I love my husband and he loves me very much. We have two small children. Before marriage, I never saw my husband as someone he is trying to portray and that is truly worrying me.
Truth…he is a good man, very caring and supports me but I have found out that he is a very moody person and that is truly affecting our relationship. Two areas where he displays this behavior is when we have any misunderstanding…and when he is maybe going through some pressure from work.
I know that people have mood swings but I have not experienced a man having long mood swings like my husband. If we have a misunderstanding, especially if I am the one that is right, instead of him to talk to me about it or apologize, he starts keeping quiet or his mood changes from being happy to being withdrawn.
When I try to talk to him, to get him out of that mood, he does not want to. It takes sometimes two days for him to get into a better mood. At work, he is in Finance and his job is usually very tough…once that starts, he just starts being moody. I will ask him what is wrong and he will snap at me and ask me to leave him alone.
These days, I just leave him alone when he starts his mood swings but I am an extrovert or so to say…I don’t like keeping malice…I cant be in a house where the other person does not want to talk to me. I miss him when he is like that. I have tried to talk to him, trust me,…he says that is how he is…I should let him be.
Please ma, are there men who behave like this? This is really bothering me and recently making me feel I made a mistake in marrying him over my ex. My ex is someone that discusses anything with me: whether its my fault or something that has to do with outsiders…he never shuts me out the way my husband shuts my out with his moods.
This is really bothering me…I do not want to ever think another man is better than my husband or will treat me better than my husband but my husband’s refusal to address this matter is not right…how do I go about this…is this how I will live with him for the rest of our lives?
Please advise me.
Mrs GH
