Struggling to cope with husbands moods

3 replies

Summerpigeon · 19/06/2024 11:25

My husband has always been all or nothing ,hot or cold ,up or down.
His moods cause me great anxiety,to the point sometimes I can't eat around him ,or go to the toilet if he's in the house .
He can walk out of a room in one mood ,and walk back in ,in another.
He can turn his mood on and off depending on who is there ,so he can be in a mood with me and not speaking to me ,a DC comes in ,and he's normal again ,and normal to me ,then dc goes out ,and he's back to being in a mood with me.
And he's just had 4 days of work and I spent that whole time a ball of anxiety.
I've tried talking to him and he says he's just tired,or I'm imagining it
He's critical of the house and no matter how much housework I did ,it wouldn't be enough.
I have bad anxiety with lots of people,even my adult children
So I can't be sure if I'm imagining his moods ,and he is just tired like he says .

I think you meant to post this in Relationships. What you need is a divorce.

If he can switch his moods on and off for different people, that's not being autistic, that's him being an arsehole.

Whether he's doing this on purpose (I think he is) or not, if he's turning you into a bag of nerves such that you don't feel comfortable even using the loo, you need to leave. That's no way for anyone to live.
