Do you tell your SO
 

when you've had a bad day? I typically don't and won't tonight after a rare bad day today.

Generally no but if I've had a bad day my GF can sense something's off.

Okay, why not tell your SO?
.. and as started, we can tell if y'all had a bad day.

Depends what it is. Usually not.

Nobody will know it More than my so lol

I haven't had an SO in a long time but when I did, I only told her if I felt sure that my behavior was being adversely affected by the day.

Depends on the issues and level of badness.
Sometimes yes. Usually if it was just a stressful day, sure. Off itt was a truly bad day relayed to work, probably not.

Work ****? Probably not. Health, family, friends **** - probably.

Telling us Pelicans...yes. (that's why we're here, man!) :)

Telling your SO.....no.

You're welcome and hope you feel better soon! SmileWavy

You might think you’re in control enough to not let it show but, believe me it does.

To answer your question Shaun,,, of course.

I tell her, she tells me. I help her with her stress load and provide suggestions,, she does the same for me. We each have different perspectives and in using that method, we manage everything together which helps smooth out those peaks.

It also keeps us from making rash assumptions about the sources of tensions..

It’s worked for us for 35 plus.

No.

Because she's the sort to kick the dog while he's down.

I try not to, because instead of listening to my venting, she gives uninformed suggestions. Sometimes, you just want to ***** and not discuss alternatives, etc.

Ouch....



I rarely have bad days as I'm pretty grounded but if i do I usually get over it by the time I would see her to tell her. I might tell her what happened, but its over and done very quickly.

My S.O. can also tell if I haven't exercised that day.

No. She takes things more to heart than I do. The bad day will roll off me and will still be weighing on her.

Yes. She can tell anyway. It's venting.

Yes, but just as a statement of facts and then move on so as not to be a bummer and ruin her day too.

Exactly. My wife will know, might as well tell her why.

Open book, no secrets.

You do not have to tell them. They know

My wife and I have been married 46 years and counting . Open discussion and communication are part of the reason we are still together . We are partners ............... there is no reason not to discuss a bad day .
