Re: Apologies
I noticed just before Christmas there seemed to be a lot more positive posts. That did seem to change after the New Year, and i do think its a time of year thing that added to all thats going on could well add to the effect.Still its all part of life so not surprising that sometimes we all get a bit that way and vent our feelings more.

Re: Apologies
Sorry if I came across a bit harsh Steve - you have always had my supportI instantly felt sympathy for your wife here
I never show my true angst to my husband, I just cant put him through that.
I go into the bedroom when I feel tearful, or I will have a talk with him sometimes, but he is always in the front of my mind - I don't want to add more stress, he is already aware of what I go through. So I do put on a 'I can cope' manner for him.

Re: Apologies
Recent research states that more men suffer from 'Grumpy Old Man' syndrome when they hit 70. There are good reasons to believe this to be the case. Seventy is an age when men may become more aware of their own mortality as they see friends and loved ones pass on. They might be struggling with wearisome health problems, and/or feel depressed because they have no aspirations or goals left to attain. 'Grumpy Old Man' syndrome is also and most likely due to the fact that testosterone levels in a 70-year-old are quite probably half the normal levels of a younger man.So if You're not yet 70 Steve,Your Wife has more grumpiness to look forward to ;~)
