Negative Partner

[KG92]

Anyone any advice for someone dealing with 'a glass half empty" type of guy?

I am mentally drained listening to absolutely everything being spun in a negative way, So much so that I now choose not to say half my news whether it good or bad because it honestly doesn't matter. He will find fault.

I truly believe he is unhappy in all areas of life except swears he's at his happiest since with me 3+ years.

Complaining he has to work 5 days a week and other people have everything handed to them on a silver platter, I know this can be said by some but they move on. He does not!

Same situation when another driver annoys him on the road, he goes on & on for days about it.

I've tried different approaches, talking about it trying to see his side of it, ignoring it hoping he'l stop, getting mad about it. nothing works.

Any helpful tips greatly appreciated, please?

Have you said in a really surprised voice ' oh my god are you really moaning again ?Surely not !'

Get a bumper sticker for his car that says Negative Nancy.

Seriously, I would sit him down and be honest and tell him that his constant glass half empty approach to his life is putting a strain on your relationship and what can he do to get himself out of these negative thoughts which must also be stressful for him.

If he can’t see anything wrong or doesn’t want to change then you may have to consider moving on from him as he will continue to drag you down to his level, or at least try.
