Is your dh sunny natured ?

[LovelyYellowLabrador]

You know upbeat happy

Mine was yeah. I'm divorced now (for other reasons though). I couldn't bare living with anyone who is a misery to be honest. They will drag the whole house down with them.

Yes, we both are.

Yes. I’m a doomy pessimist. I tend to hope his optimism is justified.

Hmmmm this question really got me thinking, with me he is but not with the kids, makes me sad tbh. Wish he was upbeat with the kids too.

Yes…?

His nature is very sunny but he can still be a bastard knob cunt. I'm the miserable one. Hopefully he keeps putting up with me. If I was with a misery it would be awful 😁

Oh god no, quite the opposite 🙈.

Christ no, Mr doom and gloom here.

ExDH was miserable and negative and always saw the worst in everything. It was infectious in the end; I’m a natural optimist and sunny by nature but by the time I left I was so utterly flat.
Now DP is a ray of sunshine, playful by nature. We have more fun together than I could ever have believed possible. Life is amazing! Both of us have down days but we lift each other up instead of dragging each other down ❤️

Mine is naturally but can get very quiet and pessimistic when stressed about work or family - he finds it hard to express any worries or talk things through so just sort of stews on it and becomes like a big storm cloud is hanging about him! Luckily he’s becoming less stressed with work these days

I think my username will give it away but nope not at all. Especially in the mornings takes him a couple of hours to wake up.
Good job I love him anyway and just take the piss out of him being grumpy

This is such an interesting thread.

no he definitely is not. It’s exhausting

He is actually.
Rately does he get down and he isn’t a complainer either, he never moans about stuff.
He is really good company actually.

Just wish he would wipe a kitchen surface every now and again and move the fucking drill that’s been dumped on my dining room table for the last fucking week.

Getting grumpier as he gets older 🙄

Sometimes. He can be a bit of a grumpy bastard at times and is prone to catastrophising, but I'm a fucking ray of sunshine and the kids and I can usually jolly him out of it. Either that, or we take the piss out of him for being such a drama queen!

Depends which way the wind is blowing🤣

Sometimes he can be

He used to be until he turned 50. Plus his current job v stressy.

No and I despair atm, on holiday recently (lovely place all inclusive) constantly complained that the staff who brought drinks to your sunbed (yes you read that right) didn't come frequently enough, ranted most of the way home about the roadworks on the motorway, last night he was cooking dinner whilst constantly shouting at the hob for apparently being useless and badly designed, I could go on I'm trying to find the right moment to suggest some therapy as I'm not sure I want to be with him much longer

Nope, he’s a bit on the grumpy side.

he’s still the kindest man and best husband though. But he doesn’t smile often

No, he's like Victor Meldrew.

My DH is a sort of joyful pessimist, like Larry David.

I couldn't bear someone too upbeat.

My DP has terribly low self esteem but is incredibly generous and kind and positive about others. He is a massive cheerleader of me and the dc, and others generally. He is very talented at music and gets a lot of pleasure from that. He's lovely to be around. I try to big up his self worth as much as I can all the time.

I am gregarious and jolly but prone to anxiety and short bursts of frustration. We complement each other very well.

No. I call him Victor ( after Victor Meldrew of One Foot in the Grave )

Yes, he is. He whistles and sings around the house, and nothing seems to bother him much
