My husband is very critical and negative toward everyone and hates his job, his boss, people and though he tells me all the time how much he loves me, if he is not getting his way, he can be very pouty, moody and stubborn. He is good to me and would do anything I ask, but his negativity is dragging me down. I have begged him to be nice, and sometimes he will recognize this in himself, but when I can get him to talk about it his answer is he does not know what to do. He is very short intolerant if someone is not doing something the way he thinks it should be done. What can he do to control this before I walk out after 49 years of marriage. He was always a serious person, but this attitude has gotten worse and I beg him to go to a counselor. Of course, he does not feel he needs it. His mom was bi-polar and had alzheimers. Is there a way I can help him? After he has one of his little episodes he is sorry, of course.
