You are such a lovely partner SeekingHelp! It's lovely that you are so caring and supportive of your partner.
Like the other girls said, pregnancy hormones sure do play havoc on our moods! But I am aware of part of your partners history (from another thread you posted) and would just like to point out that *some* of the mood swings may be related to that - especially if she has begun a maintenance or withdrawal program. If you are at all concerned about it, it is a good idea to discuss it with your caregiver on the off chance it is a little more than the pregnancy hormones.
Good on you for being such a loving and caring partner and keep up the good work.
Seekinghelp - I think my husband could relate to you on that one! And I hate it when he asks me what I'm upset about - can't he read my mind??? Unfortunatly there is no real way to deal with mood swings regardless of the cause. All you can do is be patient and try not to take it personally - even when it seems very personal. You partner can learn ways to deal with her moods and emotions but if it is something she is going to hold against you if you bring it up, it might be something she can tackle in counselling if she is receiving it as part of her program (I am only assuming you were able to get into one?). Hang in there, you are doing a fantastic job. It's never easy dealing with a women in either of the circumstances you are and your partner are facing - let alone when the two get combined. Keep up the good work.
thanx
