[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It feels like he’s always getting upset about small things. For example, last night, I was just about to pop into the bathroom to get ready for bed, when a news report popped up about the UK grooming gangs that has been in the news lately. I was chatting to him about it, because he had never heard of it. Granted, I get it’s a bit of a depressing topic, but next thing I know he had stormed out and insisted on sleeping on the couch because “I don’t want to hear about this before I go to bed”. I get that, in retrospect, I should have maybe kept it to myself and just gotten ready for bed. But I honestly didn’t think it, and, in any case, it feels like I have to walk on eggshells around him, that he’s not good at managing his emotions and freaks out over the smallest things. Unfortunately I am (accidentally) pregnant so leaving isn’t so easy, but I’m afraid when we have a child together it will be a million times worse. I’m not sure if this kind of thing, a guy who always seems upset, is a legitimate red flag or I’m just suffering from pregnancy hormones. And if it is really bad, then IDK whether I should leave now or wait till after the child arrives[/quote]

Before you started "chatting" did you gague if he was in a chatty mood? In life we don't just have to start talking and assume that just because we are talking those around us have to take it in right then and there. [/quote]

Gmafb. Adults who are not in a chatty mood say so and their partner respects them enough to back off. What you are encouraging is for the OP to continue to try to interpret his moods instead of for the adult man to use his big boy words to set a boundary when he doesn’t want to hear something upsetting.

OP, people aren’t perfect, but his behavior is not normal and will be really hard to navigate long term. [/quote]

he went to go sleep on the couch. OP sounds like a huge drama queen. [/quote]
