I'm Currently Feeling: | Little rant...
I'm in a bad mood today. Not really for any reason at all. Didn't sleep all that well last night and have spent most of the day tidying and cleaning around the house.
I tried to make a simple trifle and I screwed it up. My OH wouldn't help me find the custard to start a new one because he was already doing something else. Me, being the impatient bitch that i am, went in a strop because i wanted it right there and then. So my trifle ingredients sit on the kitchen worktop, abandoned cause 'I don't want the fucking trifle anyway'
Why am i being so horrible
And why can't my OH just come and give me a hug to make me feel a bit better? Instead he's gone upstairs to build things... fun
Sorry for the rant, just had to get it out |

I'm Currently Feeling: |  I'm sure you will feel better soon - we all have our down moments like this. The thing to remember is that it is all just hormones and emotions and they will not stick around forever... You'll probably feel right as rain tomorrow.
Maybe you could try telling your OH when you need a hug? Hope you feel better soon x |

Try using very I-centred statements when you're trying to talk about how you're feeling - otherwise for men it can seem very much as if you're accusing them of something or blaming them even if you are not. So instead of saying " you didn't give me a hug when I needed one you're just doing your building and leaving me to it..." you could try something like " I feel very emotional today and I need a hug please..." He can't come back with "I'm not a mind-reader" to that, because your retort would obviously be "that's why I'm telling you what I need; I need a hug". This should hopefully bring out his loving and protective side - he'll want to make you feel better.
Hope you do feel better soon. You're not being complicated - you're finding your emotions a challenge and who doesn't every now and then? It's not like you're acting this way out of any malace or like you're deliberately being akward... I'm sure your OH will understand this deep down - even if he seems frustrated on the surface - He's only a human being trying to deal with all these changes and emotions, too!
I think you guys need a little chat and a snuggle to work things out...... Feel better x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | Don't feel bad, silly - We all need to get things off our chest sometimes. We're all here to offer a hug and the best advice we can... I hope that it has helped!  |
