Is it normal to keeping getting in a bad mood?

I feel like I'm being unreasonable when my DP says something to annoy me I can't seem to let it go straight away. It puts me in a bad mood and I find it hard to be happy again the rest of the day. How can I stop this bad feeling dragging on and just get over it immediately?

Doesn't that depend on what he's saying?
If he's saying something minor then you're over reacting and you'll need to work on moving your mind on to something else so you don't dwell on it.
If he's saying something really personal or hurtful it may be natural that you don't just forget it.

I think it depends on what he says to annoy you!?
Can you elaborate?

What kind of things is he saying? TBH I can't say that my DH does often say things which annoy me, let alone that bother me for the whole day. Obviously he is annoying sometimes, but it's more of a momentary thing if that makes sense.

The main issue is we have been having problems. we agreed to stop talking about things for at least a couple of days/weeks and just try and be normal again without consuming our lives. But he can't help but make negative comments. We started the day off well. Going out for dinner tonight and making plans for the long weekend. Then all of a sudden it's 'but you don't feel the same about me, I can tell when you look at me'. I agree I say I'm maybe being a bit unusual as I don't know how to act around him because I don't want him to think negatively. We agreed to be positive and it feels like he can't do that. Probably just ranting now.

Maybe the relationship is just not working out? How long have you been together?

MsPotters · 18/04/2019 15:00

Less than 6 months

Crikey, if it's less than 6 months let it go. Should be all hearts and flowers and gooey romance at that stage!

6 months?? Fuck that! Time to call an end to it.

Just doesn’t sound like you’re suited. He’s feeding off your negativity and it’ll keep going around in circles

Amongstthetallgrass · 18/04/2019 15:42

Six months! Just walk.

I thought you were going to say ‘ten years and three kids’!

Our first three years were gorgeous then kids came along ...

You are dating, the point of which is to see if you are compatible. You may work on many levels but on a fundamental level, you don’t. Move on already.

Six months?! FFS, stop wasting your time! This relationship is dead in the water.

Meandwinealone · 19/04/2019 11:14

Omg 6 months.
Jesus. Just leave. It really shouldn’t be this hard.

Bananalanacake · 19/04/2019 11:16

it's a lot easier to leave him if you don't live together.

YesimstillwatchingNetflix · 19/04/2019 13:07

6 months?!? If you're not having fun dump him.

Are you annoyed/ grumpy in general though? Might be worth seeing your GP to check there is no medical issue at play.

But if you're otherwise a positive and happy person, who just happens to have a tedious boyfriend... then the solution is an easy one!
