If a partner becomes grumpy at you, wherein she seems to resent the very idea of being 1 foot away from you what should you do? Should you buy her gifts? Wouldn't that reinforce the grumpy behavior? Or will I give her space and time to miss me? Wouldn't that make her resent you more if she sees you moving away? This questions basically asks the question without any clear answer "What do girls really want"?

Haha. I think that is normal for women, especially if they have their visits. I guess we are only human and are allowed to feel grumpy at times right?

I already took that in consideration. It has already been 1 month and a half. Your monthly visits only last for7-10 days right? I'm really just wondering. I thought as the relationship gets older everything should be clearer. right? Right now I don't know what to believe. Peace. But I guess your right. She has a right to get grumpy. Maybe its some other reason. Thanks.

That depends when they are grumpy. Some people are naturally grumpy getting up in the morning. If it's later in the day, I used the direct approach. I ask what is the problem. Problems are much easier to solve once we know what the problem really is.

Well in my case it is the other way around my husband is always in a bad mood especial;t in the morning time! I just walk away from him and don't talk to him for a long time until he apologizes to me, but what girls really want is you to pay attention to them! I know that is what I want and I am a girl. Hope this helps you, I just want him to notice when I wear something nice or fix my hair and for him to not be in a bad mood all the time but, I wait.

i think sometimes it's normal for us girls to be grumpy sometimes :) i think you should do what she says :) and after that she'll realize all the things she have done :) it will be fine soon :) girls are girls :) sometimes we don't always mean what we're saying, we're just influenced by our emotions :) because girls are emotional :D

in a relationship, you should be open to each other. ask her what has been bothering her or what seems to be the reason why she's grumpy. maybe if you communicate well, you would be able to address the real problem.
