I don’t know about most people but whenever I’m in a bad mood I stay out of the way. I don’t put myself in situations that will likely heighten my bad mood. Sometimes if I feel like I might get short with someone, particularly my wife, I’ll even openly say that I’m in a bad mood and need some quiet time. My wife on the other hand craves annoyances, its as if she’s looking for more things to be mad at just to validate her moodiness. I genuinely think she wants me to be upset along with her until she feels better. In those moments, my happiness only makes her more annoyed it seems. Whats most frustrating is she’ll pick the absolute worst moments to take it out on me. I get home from a long day of work ready to relax and I’m welcomed by one word answers and a sulk face. Another example is her bringing something up when we’re in bed and I’m seconds away from being asleep. Just to clarify, this isn’t a frequent thing but when it does happen it always follows the same formula. Her being mad at something completely unrelated to me but taking it out on me anyway, and always at the most inconvenient times. Anyone relate or have dealt with this in the past? submitted by /u/Irish_go0dbye
