He’s not exactly throwing a temper tantrum, but pretty darn close to it. You know those moments when your husband says or does something that just seems… immature. You’re minding your business or you’re doing what you do and suddenly he is sulking about something or getting loud and upset about something. It seems so out of left field or disproportionate to the actual circumstances, and it’s draining. 

He can’t seem to figure it out or work through it, and he expects you to help him out of it or worse, is treating you as a scapegoat to whatever is going on in him. You’ve tried ignoring it, but that hasn’t helped. You’ve tried telling him it’s not your problem. THAT made it worse. And in your frustration of his prolonged silence, pouty mood, or angry outbursts, you’ve ended up calling his immaturity out and tell him to get over it and figure it out.

You’ve got enough kids to deal with and teach how to handle their emotions, you don’t have time and energy for another one, an adult, who should know better, right?

I know you’re tired, friend. I know you’ve been spinning your wheels on how to help him change or even see how immature he’s being or how it affects the family and you’re just… over it. 

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and this won’t be fixed or resolved that quickly either, but these steps will begin to help you handle his moments of immaturity in a mature way, in a God-honoring way, and with consistency, you’ll begin to see some change.

Loads of Love, Lydia
