TBH, I'm getting pretty tired of face-to-face altercations when they happen, or 'obvious annoyance and resentment' when the arguments aren't happening!! Yeah, we have fun times together, but it feels of late the other half is just getting more 'annoyed' at me, and then this leads to my frustrations at her... For example; I'm actually pretty good on teh bike - winning races etc etc. Rather than being met with "oh well done, I'm so proud" it genuinely feels that I'm resented for having a hobby, and doing well at it... I've a constant feeling of guilt whenever I take time 'for myself' - such as going for a ride, or 'fettling in the garage'. She paints a picture I'm there all teh time (which isn't true) - it jsut feels like the times we spend as a family are immediately forgotton as soon as I go out and do something fun for myself.. For various reasons her ability to do her hobbies have been limited - i get that this in itself is frustrating for her, but I can't be expected to simply give up everyhting and join her in a pit of gloom...can i??? Meh... More of a rant that a hunt for answers TBH~!!! (And anytime I do try to help or offer suggestions, it's met with "STOP BEING ALL GP'Y ON ME!" one cannot win..) DrP

Pastime. Not past time.

My wife & I go through cycles of grumpiness, sniping at each other & then making up with each other.

16 years of marriage so I guess it’s worked ok so far. There are times I get really wound up with her & I’m sure the opposite is true. When you spend so much of your life together I reckon it’s only to be expected.
