DH is being an asswipe today

I have no idea why - he's just really grouchy and won't tell me what's wrong (or even admit that something is bothering him Confused). He doesn't get like this very often, so usually I try to cheer him up, but I'm tired and grouchy myself today and don't feel like babying him.

A good kick in the nads is acceptable within the bounds of marriage, right? Stick out tongue

Re: DH is being an asswipe today

  • Sometimes I wonder if I should've written a good kick in the nads into our vows.  "I will love you, cherish you, and possibly kick you in the nads if you start acting a fool."

    Obviously, MH is acting up too.  I don't know if it's work, or he's hungry, or it's the schedule conflicts we're running into with a trip that's coming up in a few weeks.  I've been acting super-duper positive around him because, unless I'm also feeling moody and spoiling for a fight, it's easier than trying to force it out of him.

    Whatever's with these Hs today, I hope they get back to normal soon!

  • I know Ben is a bit stressed right now because we're starting house hunting, and he's all excited and nervous about it. We looked at one place last night that he LOVES (I like it a lot, but I have reservations about the size of one of the living areas, so I'll need to make sure our furniture can fit - may sound dumb, but I freaking love our couches and don't want to buy somewhere that we'll need new furniture for), and now he's nervous that someone else will buy it first.

    Which I can understand, but at the same time...if this one sells, it wasn't meant to be, and there will always be other houses. I think I'm far more pragmatic about this than he is! We're scheduling a second appointment and taking his mom there so we can get an unbiased opinion (I've found this is really helpful - she points out stuff we may not have thought of).

  • hahaha.... i think we all have those kind of days where we want to kick them in their nads!
  • nad kicking is definitely warranted :)  moving, esp house hunting seems to bring out oscar the grouch...hopefully, it's just temporary!

  • Men are simple creatures. Grouchy means they need more food, sleep or sex.

  • It wouldn't be normal if we DIDN'T feel this way sometimes! Don't know about you girls, but I'd be more worried if everything was always perfect!

    OM goodness!  I just made a new post about my DH!  Whatever it was, he had a touch of it last night as well!  

  • Heh, given that we haven't starting TTCing yet, I'll probably save the kick in the nads for later =P But until then, I'll need to find something else to do when he acts up!

    What if I kick him in the nads, then give him the beer to use as an icepack? The sex will have to wait until I'm in a better mood. Devil

  • When my DH is like that I tell him, "You know what? You're getting your man-period. Come and talk to me when it's over." and then I leave him alone and let him work out whatever is going on with him. Usually in a few hours he's back to normal. When I'm grumpy, the last thing I want is anyone to keep asking me "what's wrong" or trying to make me happy when I'm just not in the mood to be happy right then.

    oh yeah, i guess i should actually try to say something helpful, rather than just giggle at the funny responses!  i do something similar - i ask MH - "is there anything i can do, or should i just leave you alone for a while?"  usually, when he's being grumpy like that, he says, just leave me alone a while.  then i don't take it personally, don't worry about whether i did something wrong, etc - and when he's being normal again, he'll let me know and everything's fine again.  it's nice, b/c we don't get into a circular problem of him being grumpy, causing me to become grumpy, making him more grumpy, ...
