His shitty moods
My husband is under a lot of stress but sometimes he wakes up in this mood. I can’t put my finger on it but I can always tell. When he’s in one of those moods, he snaps at me for everything and then accuses me of starting arguments. For example, I KNEW he was in one of those moods this morning, and I tried to keep from doing anything to set him off. It’s really shitty feeling like I’m walking on eggshells on these days. He asked me why I didn’t dry our daughter’s hair in a really condescending way, and after getting frustrated in walking on eggshells all morning, I snapped back at him and said “cause I’ve been trying to do everything so you can relax!!“ Now he’s freaking mad again and told me I ruined his day. He has been struggling a lot in both his work and family lives, as well as with his body image. He’s a joy to be around 90% of the time, but every 10th day he’s a super volatile asshole! On those days he’ll nitpick me endlessly until I cry, then get mad at me for crying. We’re in therapy and she’s urged me to give him space on those days, but he doesn’t leave the house on those days because he claims he’s depressed! What am I supposed to do? Pack up the children and dogs and go work from home from Starbucks? That’s not fair to me or our kids. These occasional moody days are affecting my work, my self esteem and my sanity. Right now, he’s sitting in the office where I usually work doing who knows what. Probably gaming, watching porn and napping on and off. I’m sure tomorrow he’ll be back to normal, but Jesus Christ. What do I do? Will his moody 10% Ever settle out? I know we all have bad days from time to time, but he’s a DICK on his. It seems like nothing triggers them, and he even told the therapist when she asked “I don’t know, just some days are harder than others”. He also admitted to blaming me for all of his stress on those days, and says he can’t help but take it out on me because I’m always there. Wtf.
