Do you hate when people are grippy?

I can't stand it when people gripe and fight all the time! Why can't everyone just get along? Number one example My husband in the morning is never happy. Here it's like this It's cold in here did you have the windows open? And it will be almost 80 degrees and I just wanted to air the apartment out because it smelt like smoke from cigarettes so bad. And then he will start pulling the blinds looking to see if I had the window open. He said bugs come in whatever I think you should have some fresh air once in a while. Then he told me don't wash my clothes because they are still stinky but I said I only had money for Dollar Soap which we all know is half water. Then even when I get up early he is always late for work eve if he gets up at 5 am. And that is not my fault but he acts like it is. Why? Why? Can't we just all get along?

I am on my third marriage and I finally got it right. I was married the first two times to women that had about 10 different personalities.They were angry first thing in the morning for what I don't know they always said they needed time to wake up.Always when I would get up they would make sure I knew not to make any noise because they needed their sleep. I'm the kind of person that is almost always in a good mood so this time I picked someone out just like me.

I don't know the answer to that one. Someone is either moody or they aren't. I can't stand to be around moody people anymore. I remember I use to call my first wife Sybil . We would talk and everything would be great and then she would walk in a different room and come back mad about something. My nerves were shot most of the time.

Mu husband is somewhat moody. He suffers from bipolar disorder which does not help! I’ve learnt that when he is a grumpy state of mind I don’t even ask him what‘s wrong because he will rudely reply, “Nothing!” so the best thing I can do is ignore him and stay away from him until he snaps out of it! I don’t like to fight and will not get caught up in an argument just because he is in a bad mood! I am used to negative people; my mother is one of the most negative people I know so I learnt a long time ago not to let others determine what kind of day I’m going to have!

That's what I have been doing I have been ignoring him and it seems to work he always asks me what's wrong and smiles and then he will want to talk to me.

Somedays I think life would be to simple if we could stop complaining. Afterall, on the days hubby is home I spend telling him, it's a beautiful day go pollute (smoke) outside he see's the snow & turns tail into the basement. I'm not a smoker so it drives me crazy & I don't like him smoking in it just cause it's winter & the fact that both his parents had cancer last year and that gene is in him & our kids... he needs that damn nicotine so badly. Othewise we bicker over the furnace.... he complains we can't go anywhere, I complain he needs to keep the furnace down to a modest temp & quit smoking those nasty things We don't have the late thing here hubby leaves like 90 min early so he can drive there & get filled in before his shift starts so he's not going in blindly for his shift.
