I am just feeling a bit sad because although I love my DP very much and she can be funny and caring, she seems constantly to feel hard done by or picked on.
For example, most days when we are out she sees someone who is supposedly 'giving her dirty looks' or who has wronged her in some way (pushed in front in a queue or something.)
She takes offence really easily and often ascribes negative motives for people's behaviour (including mine) which I think she is wrong about.
To give an example. We are on holiday at the moment. Today we slightly misjudged the time available to walk from one area of a city to another and we ended up having to grab a quick McDonald's and eat it on the train instead of sitting down to eat. This was nobody's fault but DP grumbled so much, saying she had terrible indigestion, she was tired from walking so fast etc and said it all as if I had made her walk and eat fast on purpose!
I am quite a 'glass half full' sort of person and tend to take most things in my stride, but DP is not really like this at all and it just feels wearing. Any advice on how I can deal with this?

DP seems to have a grudge against the world.
