He's just a grumpy old man

and if he thinks it, he says it. Doesn't matter who is in the room or if he might offend someone. He's always been that way in the 22 years I've been married to his son, but it just gets more pronounced the older he gets.

My 50 year-old DH is a grumpy old man!
If there is a male menopause, I'd say it's manifesting in general grumpiness in my hubby. Ugh! Everything seems to be the focus of some complaint from him. A pen runs out of ink, he grumbles and curses. Can't find his keys? Of course someone else took them and he grumbles and complains. Forget things like bills, or home repairs, or anything that really truly is irritating. His head might explode. When I ask him why he's so grumpy, he gets grumpier and grumps about my saying he's grumpy! Can't win! Sometimes I can coax him into a smile by imitating his grumpiness. He knows he's a complaining old coot these days. He gets regular exercise (runs 5-10 miles a night), eats well, balances work with rest. The kids are grown and we have our freedom. I can't figure it out. He should be happy and relieved. Instead, he's doing his very best imitation of Walter Matthau.
