Why are women so fucking moody?

[tn_8tiv]

I'm going to piss off a bunch of women this morning but I really want to know why they can be so fucking moody and selfish. Yesterday afternoon I'm watching the Gold Medal Hockey game between USA and Canada. During the second period my wife decides she wants to go shopping. She asks if I want to go and of course, being the insensitive male that I am, said no! She got really upset and wouldn't talk to me for the rest of the night. Said I never did what she wanted to do and felt the hockey match was more important than she is.

Now come on, why do women pick the most inopportune times to decide to go shopping? And why is it so important that they have to have company?

Women, defend yourselves.

Hmmmmm no defense there, no way in hell I'd have been shopping either......

We do it just to piss off you guys.

OK. I'm in love (LMAO). Can I tell my wife to PM you for some advice?

 

[alltherage]

Seems that one might have been a test. Your enjoying this once in a lifetime game that she has not interest in and she decides that that is the perfect time to test your love for her. Whoops, ya failed. Insecurity, and wanting drove her to it I expect. Oh, and us woman, we are just bone selfish and fundementally mean.

Well, I cannot imagine NOT wanting to watch yesterday's game (I was riveted to my own TV); plus, I hate shopping.

However, is the weekend the only time you two can spend time together? It's pretty clear that she felt your sense of priorities as a personal statement (when time together is precious, it can be hurtful when one of a pair concentrates more on something else).

I would expect that the best thing would be to discuss this incident with her. Good luck, and try and understand her feelings (especially if sports isn't her "thing"!).

Re: Re: Why are women so fucking moody?

ATR: Yes, I work a lot (workaholic I guess). I can understand her feelings but invariably she always picks times that seem inappropriate to "test" me. And to refuse to discuss it after the argument begins is what I'm really referring to. It seems she always "tests" me then refuses to discuss her feelings.

Jenny: When she is reading a book, she doesn't want to be disturbed. I respect her feelings so why can't she respect mine?

We have been married for 25 years so it's not like we are newlyweds. After this period of time, you would think we would be able to at least communicate.

 

[alltherage]

Is it possible that your wife is trying to get into a fight with you? I have been with people who loved to fight. After a time you begin to think that the fight itself is whats important, not the subject of the fight.

maybe teh sex hasnt been to good, so she wants to bait you into a fight to get good make up sex!

Sounds now like more of a "control" thing! However, you two MUST be doing something right if you're still together after 25 years!! I cannot imagine NOT communicating, especially when things bother me (or are bothering my guy).

I have heard of others with similar communication problems; in one case it turned out to be the woman was "testing" because of her insecurities. Sorry to hear this is happening, and hope you can find a satisfying resolution.

...don't count on it.......

 

[Willing and Unsure]

i'm no expert here... cuz i'd rather watch the sports than to go shopping.. but my opinion from what you just said, she may just be feeling a bit neglected... i know i get that way sometimes with my friends, only i whine instead of go shopping

Now that's a thought. Perhaps you are right.

LOL

I dunno darlin... I think I would've shot anyone who interrupted the game yesterday.

 

[BlkPnthr]

Damn, and all this time I thought it was cause women are bipolar

I was really hoping that wasn't the reason! It seems like it fits too awfully well though......lol

 

[juicylips]

Do you think juicy is moody?? What is always on my mind? HUH??

Sorry Cassidy, Didn't mean ALL women, just the one I'm living with.

Now if you had been there I probably wouldn't have been watching TV anyway, right?

When couples fight, it's almost never about what they say it's about. Nobody's going to really get mad because you'd rather watch a hockey game than go shopping, unless it is a signifier of something that's bothering her more.
What did you say the last time she wanted you to go somewhere with her?
Maybe she wanted your input on what she was shopping for?
Maybe she asked you 3 weeks ago if you'd go with her this weekend, but you were watching sports at the time and didn't pay attention?
Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking sides, but I suspect there is something more important she's upset about. Ask her. And then listen to her. OH, and look AT her when she explains it to her, don't look off into space

 

[lisalove]

I can't speak for all women but I know I can be a moody bitch. But it's always about extremely important stuff like the coffee not being ready as soon as I wake up.

I really don't get why your wife got her knickers all in a knot over this. Did she need you to drive her to the mall or pay for the items?
