My husband always seem to speak in an irritating manner although there's no reason to be. Hence, whenever he is like that, i would jokingly ask him "High blood ka na naman?" (Are you angry?)And he would realize that he's not, yet appear that way, and sheepishly grin!
Last night ,just as i was nearly falling asleep, he suddenly asked me if i have texted our daughter to ask if she's alright because he already did. So, because i was annoyed that i was awakened just because of that, i annoyingly told him "Of course!" in an irritated voice.
He then told me "High Blood ka na naman?"(Are you angry?). Thus, realizing that he was giving me my one liner to him, i burst out laughing! That set his good mood , laughed and tickled me again non-stop!

What a fun! Your husband “paid you back in your own coin”.Whenever husband and wife must understand what the other party feel and give in a little to each other over small matters. I think this is just a recipe for your happy marriage.

Yes, actually for a marriage to work, there should be a give and take attitude for the couples. If one is in a bad mood, the other one should know how to tame that bad mood. 
A joke every now and then between the couple is also a spice to the marriage.

That is very positive for couples to overcome such moments with humour instead of fight. I really like the way your husband respond to you that night... It was really funny,i can imagine this scene, and if i were you i would do the same...burst out laughing. I wish you to have many moments like this with laugh and joy instead of fights and sadness.

Actually, we did both burst out laughing. So much so, that as we are laughing, he began tickling me again , that made me laughed more and ultimately told him to stop tickling me .
Oh yes, we always have a joke always, specially when we are about to sleep. You can read at my newest discussion my friend , of how it went again.

Thats a really good thing that your husband has lightened the mood. It always help in the relation whenever you have such times when your anger just evaporates with a single sentence. I wish you have several such moments :)

Yes, we rally should find a way to lighten an annoying situation, my friend. Specially with couples, they should learn how to be cool when their partner seems to be in a bad mood.
We always have a happy moment at night, before we go to sleep. That's the time when we get to bond & rest after a day's work.

I'll say, he has guts. Waking up a wife is daunting enough and giving back what he got? Unthinkable. Congratulations SIMPLYD,you have a tough guy for a husband.

Well, i am not actually sleeping yet that much, but about to fall asleep and he knows that, because i have kissed him goodnight, since he is still watching TV by my side. So, there yes, he knows too that i would laugh when he teased me my one liner!

Actually sometimes, when we see our partner in a bad mood, a subtle joke such as my one liner, will reset the bad mood to a better one. And when that usually is our one liner, it's most likely that it will be thrown back to us by our partner, should a situation calls for it.
When that happens, we can only laugh out loud.
It's nice to be able to laugh out loud with our partners!

Correct we should always do that, because man basically doesn't want to be overpowered by men. At least, when we lower down our anger , he will follow.
It's peaceful that way, my friend.

That is good that you and your husband share a relationship like this, as there will be times when in a marriage even when one might sound mad or frustrated, they are really not. It is just their tone of voice at the time that makes them seem that way. So being able to say something like that to you, and having you both laughing about it later is a Good thing for sure.

You are so correct, my friend. Though he is not angry in the real sense, his voice and face seems so. It's just that he is just like that.
So, i always remind him that he is like that again, if i see him so. He grins when i do that and we would laugh about it.
And he too would try to find times when i seem like that too and throw me my one liner.

Short tempered nature of men and women land them in chiding and very often it turns out to be a quarrel. But when things soon soften up the grudge melts way..this is smooth relationships...FOREVER

IT really takes time for the couple to be able to know how to deal with each others' temper. When one is really angry , the other one should find a way to cool it .
That way, quarrels will not erupt, but loving relationship will ensue!

I think sometimes professor, when one gets irritated, the other one should try to make some humor in the situation. That way, the said partner will be enlightened and be awakened from the irritation, with a laugh.
He is always high blood too
So nice to have your partner by your side eh.@SIMPLYD (90721)

So your husband is high blood too.
Well, it's now on your hands to tame him when he's in that mood. At least you know how to tame him or make him laugh by that particular way of you.
Yeah, it's nice that our partner is always at our side, specially at night.
