One of the things that I've always feared but have never had reason enough to worry about it as to mention it ever was how I might deal with moodswings in the future. I mean, as I've always said, relationship doesn't really include the I. It's almost always We, with an occasional-to-frequent You.
But, some of these days, I just don't want to deal with people. My ability to simply face situations is dwindling. And, sometimes, I'd rather slug a person than tolerate them to touch me. So what do I tell my spouse or my kids? Don't deal with me today, don't talk to me, though I can't bear to stand it? I've always hated to make others suffer for my own moods. They're my moods, my problems - other people don't deserve to have to deal with that burden. But that's a little more difficult when you live with people.
I'll be honest, I hate the notion. But I'm seemingly getting worse and I can't seem to ignore that anymore. Most days are spent just trying to keep myself emotionally stable than actually being productive in any foreseeable capacity.

I am close with someone like this... It is hard. It is hard to deal with someone else's changes in moods. But being in a relationship means being flexible and supporting each other. No family is perfect. If all of the members care about each other and try their best to cope, there is no reason why it shouldn't work...
@escapist767 - You're right; absolutely so. I guess half of it is my own pride, in a sense, I'm not willing to sacrifice (stupid of me, I know, but it gets under my skin). I hate burdoning others, even if they'd gladly take it. So that I have to actually consider it now bothered me.
But you're right; relationships do mean supporting each other and being flexible to do so, so any future family I might have ought to be willing to do that. Heh, just have to keep reminding myself that. Thanks a lot, though.
