Living with a negative person

Anyone else been through it?

He’s negative about everything. No way I can leave right now until my kids are older. He’s constantly sucking the life out of every situation. Went out on family trip today and it was the weather, the right route to get there, when we could leave as quickly as possible. It’s draining but apparently I’m the draining one because I don’t work and act as a carer for our disabled son. I can’t work and all we do as a family is consume his bank account.
How do you not get dragged into it. I’ve had 14 yrs of it and I can feel myself being miserable.

When I challenge him about it he says he’s a realist.

Why do you feel you can’t leave until children are older?
I am not surprised you feel miserable living with a negative partner is draining, does he run you down in front of the children?
