Your question: How can I help my bad mood boyfriend?

"Dear Mookychick,

As I write this, I'm still not sure whether I'm right or wrong - I need someone to put me straight!

My boyfriend has recently been getting into the nastiest moods for no reason that I can see - he sulks, and won't speak to or look at me. He'll go and sit in another room and do something else alone as if I'm not there! He won't give me an explanation for it, and although I try to be patient with him his behaviour does get to me. As soon as I confront him about it or say something in a slightly off tone of voice, he flies into a rage and says I've put him in a bad mood because I'm always bitching at him and treating him like shit! I really don't think I do, and he can never give me an example of this, except for the slightly off thing i just said minutes earlier.

Its happened a few times now and is the only reason we ever fall out. I've been torturing myself wondering what I've said or done to upset him - I was starting to wonder if I'm going completely mad and saying nasty things without knowing I'm saying them. I honestly thought I must be cracking up because he's so adamant that this is all my fault. My common sense however - and my mother! - says that its much more likely to be him blaming me for whatever's going on inside his head.

Today he told me to leave, called me every name under the sun, so I went without saing a word. He then rang me a load of times asking me to go back, but I refused because I can't stand it any more - he is literally driving me mad! I really want to sort things out with him, but I don't think he even realises what he's doing. He seems so convinced that I'm out to get him! I realise I should probably just run a mile... but do you have any idea whats going on here, and is there anything I can do to try and sort it out with him?

The Mookychick answer to your problem

Ashley says...

relationship advice What's going on is your boyfriend doesn't want to talk about whatever it is that's going on, and your asking isn't making anything better. Instead, it's just compounding his madness.

He needs to be left alone and you need to go find something fun to do (roast a turkey, read a book, sweep your porch, go to a movie, hang out with friends) in the meantime.

If he wants to come around, he'll have to do that on his own. In the meantime, let him be in his cave.
