She usually finds me very humorous, it's been a battle as everything that was once funny is either "annoying" or "old".

To your point, is exactly why when she told me to leave I lay down beside her like she'd never asked the question. She's my best pal and seems to be in a real funk...

Pretty much. When you cut and paste a personal insult into your post and announce your agreement...you essentially made the insult as well (you were just pimping and not creative as he was). Be a man for once and take the beating you asked for. Maybe your mom should kick you out of her basement so you can grow a pair.

If you don't care for people making such remarks...keep such silly personal attacks to yourself...and stop acting like you are 12. And please stop misquoting me. Even though it is obvious (since you cannot punctuate or spell); it is still bad form. This was a serious discussion that a few of you chose to ruin. Knock it off. If you want to take shots at me, do it elsewhere.

It seems that women have serious mood change as well as physical issues throughout their life due to chemical imbalances. First in their teens, then during child bearing...and then once again, when they reach menopause. They are well worth the pain they cause us (although it still hurts). Wait until your daughters go through this. You get to relive it all over again. By then, your wife will be able to laugh about them with you.

Glad you have a good sense of humor about this. Sometimes it only lasts a little while...sometimes it seems forever. Support her and then one day, things will be normal.

Having kids makes everything so serious. IMHO, wives suddenly subconsciously want you to be more like their Dad than their boyfriend. Dads are serious. My wife started laughing at my jokes again...after many years. It had been so long that I had forgotten how nice that was.

I believe that was a test...(If you love me you won't leave. If you leave you never did love me).

I think if you did leave for your own peace of mind, you need to leave her with some certain words as to why you are moving to the couch and that you love her unconditionally, just giving her some space. Your there if she needs you and you'd love to come back when she is ready.

Complicated creatures. It s a good thing guys are wired to solve problems ;)

No. It means you are a genius.

But it doesn't mean the genius does not live in his mother's basement either.
