Im 30f and a talkative, outgoing person. My husband is a good time when he’s in the mood. But I feel like often, he’s not in the mood. I value talking in the evenings, where he just wants to be on his phone or xbox. On car rides, I want to talk, especially since we don’t see each other Monday-Friday due to our work schedules, and he has one worded answers often. He also gets grumpy often, if something is bothering him, that will put him in a funk for the day. Whereas, I try not to let things ruin my entire day or week.
Of those in a similar situation, how do you handle this? It sounds silly. But it becomes overwhelming, and I find myself wanting to hang out with other people instead of him, which I think is not healthy for a marriage however, if I approach him about it, he takes it as I think that he’s boring.
He’s a good guy and father to our children, but I just feel like I have SO many up and down days with him. And since we’ve been together since we were 19, we’ve really only been each other‘s only adult relationship. I’m not sure if this is something to look past or when work through or if this is a serious problem.
TLDR: my husband is an introvert and I’m an extrovert. He also often is in a bad mood. how to navigate past this?
