I come home pretty much the same way. My wife greets me naked...that usually perks me right up.

Actually I am the youngest person in my husband's family!! tehehehehe I'm the "younger woman." He's been married before, and I'm younger than the kids. LOL LOL LOL No, we have our own apartment, and only the dog and cat to intrude (which they do, at times). LOL Thanks for making me laugh.

LOL you two are too cute! But if this is your routine uh you must not have young uns running around. But you know I would make it a habit of coming home crumpy if I thought I was going to be greated like that. :)

I would say that even tho you miss him all day, you should maybe give hime a hug and then let him be for a bit just to unwind. Don't try to make him happy as that will probably make him feel pressured and more tense. As for going on a date, how about suggesting something fun you can do on one of his nights off...like go to a movie or out to eat, dancing etc. good luck!

thank you for the advice i will try to leave him alone long enough for him to unwhind down.. I think that would be the best thing for him is to relax and unwind before we do anything.. Thank you for the response...

You need to let him relax and unwind without nagging him to go out somewhere. He spends all week being out, and just wants to be in his house relaxing. To get your fill of going out, you should do so with your girlfriends while he is at work. That way once he gets home, you will want to do nothing but relax and watch TV as well.

If you really want to do dates, ask him in advance if he will take you out somewhere on one of his days off. That way he will know in advance instead of assuming he can relax, only to find you want to go out.

I can understand how you feel but after a long day at work I know I don't want to come home and want to run right back out again I want to sit and rlax. Maybe afer a few hours then I wouldn't mind it but an hour after I got home no I wouldn't. Let your husband come home wind down a little maybe get a shower in relax a little then try asking him if he wants to go out. I know I would just be glad he was home with me maybe you can just sit down together and watch a movie or something play some cards or talk with a couplpe of drinks and just relax. I do hope he does decied to change his mind for you and go out but if not then try the other things I mentioned I wish you the best of luck and have fun in what ever you two do together.

Hmm...surprise him? A little surprise would do. If he's really tired then...Nah, I'm not good when it comes to moods but cheesy ones like aromatherapy candles and dinner combined might work...talk to him in a very passionate way? Haha, or give him a massage or something, to loosen up the tension. Sometimes cheesy aproaches are, well cheesy, but sometimes they do deliver good results.

I don't have a husband but my kids know what to do when I have a bad day at work. If there is bad weather outside by the time I walk in the door there are no tv's on and they have everything quiet till I can calm down (I work in a television station and bad weather means alot of alarms to much noise). My kids assess my mood quickly and respond the way they know I need. Maybe if you figure out why he comes home grumpy you might be able to assess the situation and respond in a way that will cheer him up. You have to find out why the bad mood and and what will change it even if it's letting him have some unwind time befor you hit him up.

pixie bring him a cup of coffee and his bedroom slippers,play some soft mellow music of something he likes, be calm and pretty at the same time, and just talk soothingly about something he enjoys.Nothing else works, sit on his lap, that should bring a good response. atleast when I did it with my hubby it did. lol.

Treat him like a king. When he comes home, kiss and hug him. Always prepare a special dinner for both of you. Make sure you always look great and sexy. Offer him a soothing massage to take off the stress. Maybe if he feels better, then he's in the good mood for intimate moments and have more time with you. Don't forget to tell him how much you love him. I guess that'll make him happy enough.

U can if u try. Offcourse in every family it will happen. After coming from the office husband will be tired and he want rest so leave him to take rest for an hour or two after that which he interested to eat or to drink just made for him and give it to him and he will be very happy. He will agree with you what you will say

I really can't do that he is in the military and they won't let him off work early or anything.. I wish that they would so i could give him a good back rub and keep him relaxed... I wish that the military would let them off early sometimes that would help alot in him being so tired during the week.. Thank you very much for the advice and thank you for the response...

As you can see, my husband responded to this comment right above this response. When he comes home from work and sees me sitting there, he completely forgets all about his crappy work day.

You know i have never thought about doing that... thats is a great idea....I will try that the next time that i think he has had a bad day.. I don't wanna do it everday cause it might wore it out and i don't want to do that... I want it to work every other time.. thank you for the idea and thank you for the response...

While he's sitting down, stand behind him and give him a massage on the neck/shoulder/upper back area. If he doesn't appreciate that he's hopeless!

I guess that i should start doing that more often again.. I use to give him a massage every weekend when he would come down and see me when we lived two hours away from each other but no i don't do it as often as i use to before we got married... So i guess i shoud start doing that again..

I am also a married woman. I have always went with the idea of just letting him go for a little while and let him be cranky. It is probably nothing personal although sometimes you might take it that way. I take it personally sometimes. Sometimes people just need some space to collect their thoughts at the end of the day. Everyone has a bad day from time to time. It is just normal. Just prepare a nice meal or have a cold drink ready for him when he comes home.
