7 Ways to Bring Your Man out of a Bad Mood ...

If you want to bring your man out of a bad mood, start by asking him if he wants to talk about what’s wrong. Sometimes men do, sometimes men don’t. But they should have the opportunity to air what is bugging them just like we want to when we are stressed about something. Be a good listener and allow him to talk as long as he wants to talk. Try not to butt in with comments until he wants to hear them.

Don’t we all want sympathy when something is going badly? I know I do. Sympathy does not necessarily change the situation, but it does help you to feel like someone understands what you are going through. Give your man some sympathy when he is in a bad mood. Tell him you understand why he might feel the way he does.

Sometimes, when we are in a bad mood, a nice gesture can help us to snap out of it. Men are no different than women in this. They enjoy a thoughtful gesture when they are having a rough day, too. Fix his favorite meal. Call to tell him you are thinking of him. The options are limitless here.

Yes, ladies, I am suggesting that you let him take his mind off of his troubles and put them on you. Why not wear something you know he likes when he is in a bad mood? If he doesn’t catch the signal that you are available you may have to be a little more direct. You can even tell him that you know something that would make his bad mood go away very quickly. Even if time alone together isn’t feasible at that moment, you have certainly given him something else to think about.

This is not my first choice, but if your man is in a bad mood and he doesn’t want to talk about it and you can’t determine what is going on, let him be. If he wants to sulk, let him. You have tried to help and he isn’t interested so don’t let it ruin your day. Go on your merry way and enjoy yourself.

Sometimes distraction can bring your man out of a bad mood. What does he like to do? Think of an activity that you enjoy together and suggest it. Getting your mind off of your troubles is helpful and he may be glad that you made a suggestion. An additional benefit is that you can get some valuable couple time, too.

There are just times he has to work things out for himself, without you being involved. That is okay. It doesn’t reflect on your relationship in any way. Maybe he needs to tinker with the car he is restoring out in the garage or meet up with some buddies to watch a game. Give him the freedom to do something without you and he will come back to you a happier man.

We are just scratching the surface here. There are many other things you can do to bring your man out of a bad mood. What are some that you have tried?
