WHY is my husband so GROUCHY???

Answer 1

A better question is how anyone can answer a question like this. Are we supposed to pull an answer out of our butts? We have nothing to go on. Ok, the moon is in the wrong position to mercury, and your sofa is off center for feung shoooewyy (whatever). How the bleep should I know?

Answer 2

One possibility is that he could be under a lot of stress at work. Try to be extra understanding and don't push him to talk about it. Men worry about such things and tend to think about it a lot even when they're not on the job. It could be that he's just spending a lot of time trying to sort things out in his mind, even though he really doesn't want to think about it. You can't really help him with that. If he wants to talk about it, he will. If he doesn't, asking him what's wrong all the time will only make him more irritable. Just try not to draw attention to the issue, and be there for him. But leave him be on that issue until it passes, which could take quite a while. If this is what's causing him to be grouchy, you'll begin to pick up on some of the signs before long. And that will help you to help him. If it's something else, you'll probably begin to see that soon enough, too. I assume it hasn't always been this way. So for now, just be attentive and supportive, but give him space. Good luck. Whatever the problem is, I hope things get better soon.

Answer 3

He must have an underlying problem that he isn't vocalizing to you. He may have to someone but obviuosly dosen't know how to go about talking to you about it.
OR.. he may be on "man-period" right now... lol
Set him up in front of the T.V. and turn on the football, make him some snacks, and a big pasta dinner... maybe some beer and then leave him alone...
Getting them to relax helps to open up their opinions later.... sometimes...
Good Luck.. there is nothing worse than a grouchy man around the house...

Answer 4

If he has always been like this, it could be some issue from the past (a past relationship or something from his childhood). I have a co-worker who is constantly grouchy, come to find out that her mother died when she was 3 years old and she never understood why she could have her mother back. She has harbored these ill feelings since. If he recently started acting like this, it could be finances, work, homelife, etc. Take him out to a nice, quiet stress free dinner (or cook him a nice dinner) and talk to him when no one is around.

Answer 5

there could be a number of reasons....work, unable achieve any goals, lack of sleep, money problem stress can come from a number of things which cause unease and grouchiness so to speak...try sitting down together and talking about it...don't interupt just hear what he has to say and try your best to givbe him as much comfort during the process, sometimes advice isn't even needed some people just need to take things off their chest....just try your best to assure him that you'll been with him through and through and will always be there to listen to any of his problems.....

Answer 6

maybe he is pissed about the condition of the house, do you clean and cook, are the kids running around wild, have you let yourself go and ignore him talking on the phone blah blah blah
be good to your man and give him no reason to be grouchy

Answer 7

Without knowing his age ..... men also go through menopausal symptoms. Men also seem to become more routine in their lives as they age and deviating from the routine is upsetting for them.

Or, maybe he just needs a little more loving?

Answer 8

Food intolerance? Constipation? Caffiene addiction? Lack of excercise??

Answer 9

Not Enough Tater Tots

Answer 10

depending on your current situation if money is tight he probably feels trapped because there s no extra money and feels like hes not bringing in enough which means no doing stuff outside of the house
