Grumpy Husband at the End of the Day? Here’s How to Change That

Understand That Men Need Transition Time

You’ve probably heard that guys want a little personal time when they get home from work, and my research for For Women Only found that it was truly a need even more than a “want.” Because of the way the male brain is wired, most men find it actively difficult to transition from the “work” compartment in their brain into the “personal” compartment without a little processing time in between. Women can bounce back and forth all day, but for most men, that is actively hard to do. Similarly, the male brain isn’t wired to be as verbal as the female brain—and after talking all day he may need some silent downtime as well.
