He turned 41
On Thursday my husband turned 41 and he has been a bear ever since. For a while I wondered if it was his age that was bothering him, but after quite a bit of thought, I’m starting to think that this problem goes quite a bit deeper than just turning older.
This is the first birthday that he has had since he lost his mother and I think that this just may be what the root of the problem is. Because of the type of person he is, he won’t share or discuss what is going on with him. If he would talk to me about how he is feeling, then I wouldn’t have to go around playing this guessing game. I will say this though, the further away we get from Thursday, the better his mood is so I guess things are looking up. I just wish he would talk to me so we could avoid this type of situation in the future.

Hi Kim:
Sounds very familiar!!! I remember reading a book years ago called Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus and all men go into their caves when they are having crises in their lives. They want to be left alone so they can figure it out. Also they do not want to talk about it. Once I learned that, things got better. We as women, want to talk about our problems. We usually want to tell our spouses, significant others and girl friends. Once we talk about it, most of the time we feel better.
Good Luck!!!
