Grumpy husband - is it just old age?

My husband is 69 and seems to be getting increasingly grumpy / rude. Is this normal for the ageing male ? ! I'm 52 and try to be jolly and cheery but his grumpy mood just makes me bicker with him. Needless to say the atmosphere at home is pretty awful. I'd like to be more sociable but I don't really invite people over because of his moods.
ADVICE please. Is it time for Relate ?

As we age, like it or not, we lose confidence to a degree, which varies from person to person. So we become querulous, to some extent, and probably less tolerant.

Glad that the GP has found a cause for the unhappiness, and can effect an improvement, if not, ideally, a cure

Hi,

SOrry to hear that.
I had one of those and again form time to time, discovered he had type 2 Diabetes. I still have to turn a deaf ear some of the time but when he got treatment he got better.

Good luck
