Is it ok my wife always waits to see how my mood is to match it?

Answered 4 years ago

I am always the silly one and when I’m in a good mood I usually set the tone for the household. But on days I’m not feeling my best she gets down if I’m down or quiet, I ask her why can’t you just help me get out of it when I’m not my best. She says she doesn’t function that way she feeds of other peoples moods. Then it turns into a big nasty fight just because we are both down and bothered.

You can't expect her to be in a good mood if you are grumpy.

Just give each other space. Its common to feed off other peoples moods. Especially being so close. Or even during isolation. Just ask for space or hide how the u feel like the rest of us have to

I agree with the other poster. Obviously I ask if my partner is ok and if there is anything I can do for him (he does the same for me when he knows I'm out of sorts) but sometimes a bit of space is all we need to just re-frame and chill out for a while
Good luck

Yeah that's kinda weird. Why can't she give you some space and go and do her own thing? If i'm happy and my husband is in a bad mood I try to stay away from him, i don't want him to annoy me with his grumpy mood and bring me down. Even if it's going out in the garden, just a bit of distance. Everyone needs their oen space occasionally.
