what's he done?

Mines always moody! moans at evrything and never seems to be happy. Hope he doesnt see this or i will be in big trouble

compo · 01/12/2005 15:45

oh yes, one here too. He usually calms down and apologises but I usually make the situation worse by yelling at him to stop being so moody

Do you have the sulking variety, Sheepgomeep? Or the stomping around with a face like thunder type.

Mine specialises in 'DOING' stuff in a really, really grumpy way and nothing in the world is less believable than his "Nothing" when I ask him what's wrong.

sheepgomeep · 01/12/2005 16:00

I can't do a bloody thing right.

we haven't lived together that long and I think we are trying to adjust to each other but even so..

He does the sulking and the storming around with a face like thunder. When he's in a sulking mood he will ignore me for hours sometimes a day and its always me who goes crawling to keep the piece. He will apologise but nothing changes.

We are under a bit of strain at the mo.. with my ex and the house. Dp has moved in with me and my 2 but the house has been sold. The house sale looks like it might fall through now because my local council will only rehouse me in a b and b in the roughest area of town, renting is sky high and my ex won't agree to settle out of court.

Whats topped it for me with dp is two things, I was in hell of a state yesterday over the house he end up in a mood.. we argue.. he starts throwing stuff in a bag saying 'i need time on my own for a few days. i'm staying with my nana in town' Bearing in mind he only works round the corner and I live way out of town (he can't drive)and we were due to see a mortgage advisor that afternoon, he was still willing to walk out the door and leave me too it.

This pm we pick my kids up from school my dd who is only 3 winds him up that he gets out the car and said I'm going to my nanas your all getting on my nerves and storms off. I have no idea if and when he's coming back.

I love him to bits but he's really upsetting me.

DP is moody. he wakes up in a mood every afternoon (works nights) and then apparently is all cheerful at work. when he gets in he's back to being moody, but usually i just see him come to bed.
i used to think nothing of it. his family told me "he's like that". but when he'd suffered a depression, i often fear that that's what is up with him again.

ex-dp was like this - moody and snappy in the morning, moody and unhelpful in the evening, everything was just too much hassle, never saw any good opportunities. He would make his bad moods my fault and woe betide me if I didn't stop everthing to pander to his bad mood. Thats why he's my ex actually. My patience ran out.

sheepgomeep · 01/12/2005 17:22

I sometimes wonder if this is whats up with my dp.. whether he is depressed. I know he has a lot of issues in his past that he is dealing with. He's also very insecure with me. All his previous girlfriends have cheated on him (he's 24 and I'm his 6th serious girlfriend in 7 years He has two little girls by the 5th ex! He has told me that now that he wants to be with me till the rest of his life and even his ex no 5 has told me that she thinks I am the best thing that has happened to him for a long time.

dosen't your dp moods get you down though lilacbump

dp moods are unpredictable one morning he will be ok and then the next in a foul mood and he does the thing where he makes out that its all my fault.

My patience is running out too. He's just rung and made out that if I hadn't have said this that or another or if dd hadn't played up he wouldn't be in a mood

when he was depressed it split over into me getting anxious and then getting depressed myself. i don't want to go through that again and won't allow it to get that extreme. but now when he's in a mood for a few days and it gets to me, i talk to him. it can often be stuff at work that get to him or exhaustion.

sheepgomeep · 01/12/2005 17:42

my ex was very moody in some ways similar to my dp but a lot different. My ex would go into moods for weeks and months and not talk to me properly. it would be nothing I'd do it would just be him. He seemed to do it every year and I was with him for 9 years. It seemed to get worse every year until he was diagnosed with depression last year. He then buggered off with a 16 year o9ld. I suppose I'm scared that dp will eventually do the same thing.
