Nina
brought up an excellent point. All too often, my married clients or those
in long-term relationships contact me and say, “My husband/boyfriend is so
moody! I have a hard time with it. What can I do?”
This can
be especially difficult when the woman is cheerful. She’ll be in a
great mood while her partner is sullen. When this happens, it puts her on edge
and makes her wonder if he’s unhappy with her. It's tempting to
ask him, “What’s wrong?”
I’ll
never forget how I started dating a man who I found so incredibly funny. While
on our first date, he followed behind me singing Michael Jackson’s The Way You
Make Me Feel. He was crooning, “Hey pretty baby with the high heels on.”
Everyone was staring at us and smiling and I was laughing hysterically. I thought he was perfect.
Two weeks
later we were on a date and I swear he wasn’t the same man. He was attentive
and sweet but not happy. Giving him the benefit of the doubt, I thought maybe he
was just having an off night. A few dates later, though, the moody man was still
showing up. I couldn’t help it, but my interest switch shut off.
When
women ask what they can do to get their man to act less moody. I say nothing. In fact, his mood is not her problem. Even if she threw him a ticker
tape parade, his mood is exactly that – his mood. The only control she has is
to decide whether she wants to stay with him.
On that note,
women who play hard-to-get might be surprised with a ring four or five months
into a relationship. It’s great knowing a man can’t wait
to marry you. The flip side is that if you rush into it, you might
not find out until after you marry that he’s quite moody.
I can’t
answer whether it’s worth it for a woman to stay with a moody man. If it's important that he not be, do as Nina has and find out early on if you can. The man who is moody now will be the same way after
you marry. If you plan on having children with him, it becomes even more
important you discern whether this is something you can tolerate.
Until
next time…
Shine like
Platinum!
