[quote=Anonymous]I'm married to someone who takes a similar approach to expressing anger or hurt, whether that's to be obnoxiously loud (slamming doors, banging pans) or eerily quiet (moping and passing in hallways without a word). In our case it has a lot to do with how he got attention growing up. He was a middle child in a family with a bunch of kids, too-young parents, and not enough attention to go around. He makes things as uncomfortable as possible for the people around him because that's what provokes a response. He also feels better when he spreads a bad mood; when his behavior finally cracks my usually patient demeanor, he suddenly perks up. I find myself walking on eggshells, much like it sounds like you do. I don't have any advice. I feel your frustration and I wish I had the insight to change both of our situations.good luck. [/quote]
