Do you find that sometimes your other half, in my case my hubby acts like a zombie?

At times I feel that he acts so weird, and its happened twice now that hes like half dead. He gives half hearted hug, gives one word answers and it really gets to me! Then when hes with his friends hes fine, and this lasts for about a week to 2 weeks and hes back to normal!

Am I the only one who goes through this or do some or most wives go through this as well with their husbands?

Any suggestions what I should do if this zombie thing happens again?

Could he be having an affair???

I don't think you should jump to conclusions. Maybe he's just bored with his day-to-day life. Have you tried talking to him about it? How long have you two been married? Maybe you need a second honeymoon or a vacation.

Yes, there are some questions to ask here. How long have you been married? How long has this zombie thing been happening? Are there any stressful situations in the family that may make him tired? It is hard to say anything just from the info you have shared.

Have you read the topic "how to make men feel special"? I think those tips would help your relationship. You should talk to him if it bothers you a lot. If there is a problem between the two of you, then it must be discuss as soon as possible.

There are several things you can do, but don't judge this situation by what you see only. Try to have a long talk with him; if that doesn't bear any fruits, then keep observing his behavior a little longer. He could be having a mid-life crisis, problems at work or he just doing some soul searching. Sometimes people seem listless, apathetic of plain indifferent to things or others because they are having some personal issues. Honestly, if I saw my husband like this, the first thought would be to ask myself if his health is okay and not whether he's having an affair...

There is an interesting study that has just made the news in Europe where a group of top scientist have agreed that men do suffer with a form of PMT.

I don't know the full details, but it is not a regular cycle like ours, but it can bring on small bouts of depression and anxiety and general moodiness.

To be honest I think you should try talking to him. Don't go in there all guns blazing, just explain that you are worried about him and that you want to help.

(I am saying this as a man)

Please avoid getting to any conclusion without know the complete matter, it may be due to excess work load or may be he is just bit bored from his normal routine life and likes the company of his friends. It could be due to comfort level which he shares with you, In this case you can try to give him more space and behave like his best friend who is always there to listen and help out and best is not to shout or react in any negative way.

If it is possible then please try to give him some time and listen to him and try to find out what he is missing any why he behaves in that way, here missing something means like if he smokes and not smoking at home due to any restriction then also it can make him feel irritated so just try to locate the exact problem and stay away from any argument.

I agree with you completely. It is always best to resolve whatever issues we may have with the other person in the most agreeable way possible. We also do need to consider the other person's feelings at all times and not just think about ourselves.

Very good advice from smoothvibes. You need to find out what is going on with your man, and do it carefully. Men tend to carry stuff inside. Most of them won't willingly share what it is that bothers them, for different reasons - some find it embarassing, others think it a sign of weakness. But when the wife finds the right approach, she can get it all out.

thanks for support ButterflyEs & Lissy

I said that because it can save the relation and can provide resolution without any fight.

I'm curious, does your husband have anxiety or depression or anything like that? I go through 'zombie fazes' a lot, because I get stressed and/or overwhelmed. It could be the same for him. Do you too spend a lot of time together? Maybe he needs some space? Could you give us some more info about your relationship?

Men are not in the habbit of talking about things which bother them, neither do they show their emotions especially to women, sometimes men need just another man to talk to, be it their brother, friends, father.

Try talking to him when he seems ok, or simply just leave to how he is, it may be just time he needs to get over things.

Advice is be patient with him

I agree and you know the truth lady, men never like to discuss personal matters with any second person. We talk but still there is a very limited space and circle for personal talks (please mind i am not talking about using abusive words in public)

It bugs me when guys don't wanna let us know what is bothering em. Do you guys think it's because they want to be strong for us or something?
