Understanding Mood Swings in Relationships: Is It Toxic?
The Situation
"She has mood swings and takes them out on me"
The Brutal Truth
His behavior suggests he sees your needs as burdens and blames you for his discomfort. This isn’t love, it’s manipulation. Instead of supporting you, he’s invalidating your feelings and causing you to question your worth.
