The constant negativity

The constant negativity of life with this man really grinds me down. I have said before that I am intrinsically a positive person, but sometimes I really struggle to stay positive when Mr H is so negative. This week he is being a typical middle aged man and moaning about the weather. Now it's pretty good here, warm enough and we have had no rain since last week, but because it's not blazing sunshine he's whinging.
He's working at home this week which involves sitting at a computer. Yesterday, I walked the dog, cleaned the house thoroughly downstairs, including cleaning windows, then spent 2 hours cutting back conifers at the bottom of the garden - so was pretty glad it wasn't blazing heat! Today I walked the dog, ironed, drove to our local market town for shopping, then cut the grass, whereas  he is still moaning because the sky is cloudy. But now the sun is out, it's warm, I'm sitting in the garden, where is he? Yes that's right, watching TV in the living room.
Give me strength

  1. I know what you mean-it is the constant negativity that can really just sap the joy out of a day (or a life!) I'm a naturally pessimistic person, but even I can stop and force myself to see the good in a situation, whereas Aspies really can't seem to, even when reminded. Sounds like you had a busy, productive day you can take a little pride in, at least! Hang in there!!

  2. Thanks Diana, it is hard to stay positive sometimes, I do try to reflect on what I have achieved though. I will hang in there for now.
    Thanks again
