How do you deal with your spouse when he or she is in a bad mood?

I just give my wife lots of space, try not to take it personally and work at not asking, "Honey, are you okay?" too often. ;-)

It's not often my husband gets in a mood and when he does I just leave him alone. He prefers it that way. When he is ready to talk about it then he will.

Ones husband getting in bad mood is not that uncommon but i have a way out for this which i have leart in my marriage life. Love Yes love can turn mountains and this is the way i get his mood just back on track.

When my boyfriend is in a bad mood he acts edgy and is short-tempered. I just ignore him when he gets like that. But I also try to help him if I see that he's really upset or sad. He doesn't get upset if I try to help him out. I may not always succeed but I try and sometimes I do end up making him feel better.

My husband and I both have days where rediculous things annoy us and we don't want to really do anything or talk. My husband just had one last Sunday. I try to talk to him about why he's feeling crappy first, and if that gets nowhere, I take it as he just may need/want some time to himself to do whatever and be left alone, which is fine with me because everyone needs that sometimes. I just try to stay out of his way and keep our son playing in the other room to give him some peace. He appologized to me for being crabby the next day and told me that at the time he couldn't really put his finger on what was bothering him, he just felt sucky. I told him no problem, I have days like that sometimes too, and that it's fine with me if he needs some time to himself sometimes, just as long as he doesn't get rude or crappy with me or our son. That works for me.

Well when my partner is moody, I would always try to make her happy though I could always fail. I find that it is still better for me to let her stay in her mood for many hours before I try again before she gets better again.

I kind of just talk to them or touch them reassuringly you to comfort them. That or I manage to give them some sort of treat or something that they like to help them. If that doesn't work, or I don't have anything on hand, I just kind of give them their space and see what happens from there. Usually when they have a moment to sit and gather their thoughts, it usually makes things better. It usually just depends on the day.

I don't have to deal with that very much. But my hubby puts up with me being in a bad mood a lot. He usually tries to keep the kids out of my hair, and offers that I should go do some shopping or take a nap. He just tries to make it easier for me to get out of my funk. But I think the one thing that helps me the most is taking a hot shower, and when I get out, I feel refreshed and a little bit more relaxed.

I just let him have his moody moment and then let him come to me when he's ok.

I try to avoid him as much as possible when my spouse is in a bad mood. he has a bad temper. I usually tell him to go ride around or go to walmart or something just to get him out of the house for a while until he cools off.

My hubby is the same. He also have moods swings and I too have moods swings. In general, people do have mood swings its only the way we react or trying to understand things that is happening around us. Sometimes if he have mood swings ill just shut up for one minute and just wait for the time if he is already okay..to talk.

well i probably wud be the worst person to answer this coz i havent had an experience yet..am single till nw..but i guess love is the bets thing one can give to his/her spouse...a little bit of love and his/her mood cud change..i mayb wrong!!

well,i will cook some delicious food for him and see a movie with him or go shopping with him.keep quite and do something for him.
