DH always grumpy

Anger is how most men show anything.

Otherwise they ignore you, issues, anything and everything. Just someone talking to them or asking them a non-at-work question makes them lash out loudly and angrily.

He is the breadwinner and I’m sure he does feel a lot of stress, and sometimes resentment because of it. I work part time, but also do everything with the kids and their school and our home, life, sports, groceries, meals, taxes, chores, laundry, etc.. so I do feel like we have a pretty good balance, but I also don’t understand the pressures of working.

I do think he probably has some anxiety or depression, but he does not want to get treated for it.


My husbands grumpiness is VERY related to sex. If we have sex, it disappears for a few days. I know it's going to kick up a storm, but after 15 years together, i also just know it's true.

That's honestly me as well. My gf doesn't give me much and I am a little irritated and a good sex session changes a lot of things. Same goes with her.


How is this an acceptable excuse?!

Imagine if every time a wife didn’t feel like tackling the mental load, wipe down the counters, talk pleasantly at a meal, discuss homework with the kids, or wash underpants she said she wouldn’t do it unless her husband agreed to let her put something inside his body on demand.

The idea that women’s bodies exist separate from the rest of their existence as a male emotional regulation tool is absolute insanity.

I’m sorry, but the idea that you can’t be nice to me or participate in family life until I allow you to use me as a penis receptacle is the last straw.


You sound divorced.

If women don't like doing work at home then they can either get a job or get divorced. She is not helping him do the work at his job. She don't want sex then she shouldn't complain if he finds it elsewhere and then stay bitter for the rest of her life.

Lol

Repeat it for those in the back!

He says “sorry I wasn’t trying to be angry”


So his response is to apologize? It could be A LOT worse!


OP here - but does "sorry" mean anything if it happens daily? yes it could be worse, but it could be better too.
