My DH is wonderful and very caring. However when with me I sometimes feel he can be quite negative. Feeling down about work etc. His life has been pretty rubbish and without going into detail he has a lot of family baggage. I find it quite draining but do support him.
I often hear a lot of people speaking really well of him; how he is the life and soul of a party etc. Keeps everyone laughing and the atmosphere bright. Am I unreasonable to think that he should be this way with me too? We've been to a party tonight and people spoke really well of him which made me really proud but part of me couldn't help feeling that he isn't always like that around me.
I know real life isn't always a bag of laughs and he shares his life with me whereas these people see him in pleasant circumstances and therefore only see this bright side. If I ever say to him that he should brighten up he says that I'm the one person that he can share all this with.
Please be gentle; he has had a tough life but we have also been through a lot of rubbish together which life has just thrown at us.
Just looking for some other perspectives.
