re: (Edited) Just When Us Men Thought We Couldn't Make Any More Ignorant Assumptions...
I'd agree with other points made here too. You want to take the interest, inquire as to what's wrong, offer her the opportunity to tell you what's bothering her without coming down on her.
After you've heard what she has to say, just calmly explain that regardless of what's going on she shouldn't take it out on you. Say hey, I'd prefer that you talk to me and feel comfortable enough to tell me anything - this way you don't feel like you're bottling it up.
But no matter what you can't treat me like crap or I won't stick around, whether you're pregnant, sick, jobless, or simply moody.
Be point blank about it, be matter of fact, don't be inflammatory or raise your voice, just a direct even-keeled message. Because what she's doing to you is very passive aggressive; being snappy, not giving you the full story, but never coming out and directly dealing with her problem. The absolute best way to deal with a passive aggressive person is take them head on with a direct, but calm, message.
You take the interest and you ask her to open up, and then you communicate that you simply won't stand for the attitude. And if it continues, like I said, bounce.
