I don't know about most people but whenever I'm in a bad mood I stay out of the way. I don't put myself in situations that will likely heighten my bad mood. Sometimes if I feel like I might get short with someone, particularly my wife, I'll even openly say that I'm in a bad mood and need some quiet time.

My wife on the other hand craves annoyances, its as if she's looking for more things to be mad at just to validate her moodiness. I genuinely think she wants me to be upset along with her until she feels better. In those moments, my happiness only makes her more annoyed it seems. Whats most frustrating is she'll pick the absolute worst moments to take it out on me. I get home from a long day of work ready to relax and I'm welcomed by one word answers and a sulk face. Another example is her bringing something up when we're in bed and I'm seconds away from being asleep.

Just to clarify, this isn't a frequent thing but when it does happen it always follows the same formula. Her being mad at something completely unrelated to me but taking it out on me anyway, and always at the most inconvenient times.

Anyone relate or have dealt with this in the past?

JWs of course aren't the only ones guilty of being hypocritical but 90% of my associates are JWs so I see it all first hand very often.

I think that if you have a view and you believe in it wholeheartedly, have some integrity and stand by it, even when under pressure. Don't fold the moment someone questions you. Here's the thing with JWs, they're happy to spew out all the nice beliefs about peace on earth and global unity, good moral standards etc. but ask them how they feel about the lgbtq, about former JWs,"false" religions, or secular people. The answer a "worldly" person receives will be far different from what they discuss at the meetings.

And if there are any lgbtq people, secular people or ones of other religions reading this I hope you know and understand that JWs do NOT like you. To your face they'll sugar coat an answer saying "We love all people, we just hate the sin and want everyone to reach a godly standard. We are so glad to meet ones who have a faith regardless of what religion they practice, it means we have a common ground. We love worldly people and that love motivates us to preach this message of hope to them. We love former JWs and view them as lost sheep to be rescued."

In the comfort of the meetings and especially in their homes they'll describe you as disgusting and vile. They'll slander your religion, in fact, your strong faith in something other than Jehovah and the Watchtower will give them reason to call you hard hearted and brainwashed. If you're secular they'll call you blind and lead by Satan himself. If you're an exJW they have a level of repulsion for you thats heigher than for all the others combined. They will regard you all as bad associates and people to avoid. They will see you in the street lovingly holding the hand of your same sex partner and mutter "God I can't wait for the new world." meaning "I can't wait for armaggedon to wipe you out."

I really can't express enough how cautious you have to be around JWs as they will suck up to anyone in an attempt to pull them into this cult but believe me they hate who you truly are.

My wife and I like to watch sitcoms together as something light whilst we eat, then a drama or film later in the evening. Anyway I'd like some sitcoms to watch that are similar to any of the following: The Office (US), Brooklyn Nine Nine, Modern Family. There are plenty more that we've watched but that's the vibe I'm after, particularly 99. Thank you.
