And let's further stipulate that communication is key. And also, Leah rocks, and has been there for me when times have been very very tough. Everything is outlook, right? Everything is attitude. I can make choices about mood yes, but more important to me is to be taking my own temperature and know what my mood is. Sometimes I have great control over that, sometimes less so. The issues Leah and I are having are not as simple as her not being okay about a crap mood. Please take care when giving advice about the particulars of my life.

Everyone has a right to be frustrated and angry sometimes, happy can't be on duty 24/7! There will be times when, yes, you will be short or curt, but the vows do say "for better or for worse!" All in all, just tell her; "Leah, I'm in a crap mood today, so maybe steer clear of me until I can come to terms with myself." Communication is key whatever mood you are in. If a spouse/significant other wants to only share in the happy then there is a problem right there, again, happy can't be on duty 24/7. Also, ask yourself this question when you wake up in the morning "Do I want to be in a good mood today or a bad mood?" Maybe you'll have a bad moment or moments throughout the day, but remember what mood you picked when you woke up. Cool your jets????
