Got another question... I've been feeling moody the last couple days. Probably due to the stress of getting everything ready for Halloween. or just tired from the busy weekend. Whatever the real reason, i feel moody. My question is how much of your moodyness do you share with your BF? EC sensed it a little but i just said i was exhausted from the busy weekend... which, i think, it the reason.

But, then i noticed this exhausted feeling is affecting my negative thoughts and \ or causing me to feel bothered by some things that maybe wouldn't bother me on a less moody day. For example, EC shared some stories of his past dating experiences... it's part of his past and maybe it shouldn't affect how i feel today... without getting into details, would you share your thoughts about it to him, if you were me... or just let my moodyness pass and see if i still feel like talking about it later. Cuz maybe it has nothing to do with his past but more about my own past? Maybe it's because i'm afraid of the other shoe dropping in this relationship? Maybe i'm feeling clingy, i dont' know? Maybe i'm just entering a deeper level of connection and i'm scared... if that's the case i should ride out the bad mood.

thoughts on how you deal with feeling moody. who do you share it with? how do you ride it out?

thanks,

Loonybunny

I wish I had an answer for that one!!!  I would definately put it out there that it bothers you hearing about past dating experiences.  In my opinion it doesn't strengthen your bond to hear a lot of details.  Just tell him that it bothers you and that you wish that he would not bring it up.  It's definately something that I had wished that I stated early in relationships.  To me it just sets you up right away to be insecure or feel like the guy is purposely trying to make you insecure.

I usually let him know I am in one of my moods and that helps him to know how to handle me plus sometimes I can be very brash and he knows that may be it. When it comes to deep talks or if I am feeling in an "I don't know mood" meaning I am not sure how I feel I am just in a blah stage then I tend to keep to myself and try get over it with out disturbing the balance to much. He usually tries to do everything he can to make me feel better which usually ticks me off more because when I am feeling "blah" I am not sure what it takes to feel better or I would do and so more issue. But, for the most part I try to get through it without hurting his feelings and try to keep my distance or quiet until it is over.

Honestly, I can say that I am rarely, if ever, "moody". Cant remember the last time I was in a bad mood. But if i was? I guess I wouldnt really share it - especially in such a new relationship ... i think I'd sort of let it ride & see if things looked or felt better in a couple days. Maybe its PMS or something.

But if there IS something he does that bothers you, like talking about past loves, then I thinkj you should tell him. But i also have to say that unless he is bragging about them, or talking about them excessively, I dont see why it would bother you. HC often will bring up his long term GF of hte past (of 3 yrs, broke up about a year b4 we met), only in the way of "Once, whne I was dating so&so ..." - but if it seemed like he was reminiscing or something, THEN id be totally bummed.

yes PMS... i seem to get moody once a month... usually the week before my period. He just called me to say "hi"... that put a smile on my face.

his stories are like he's bragging about past conquests.. i'm sure it doesn't mean anything... nothing for me to worry about. i used to do that too but noticed that it made guys insecure, so i stopped. i keep the conquest stories amongst the girls.
