I feel like I'm reading my own thoughts here lol I don't necessarily have advice, just letting you know that my bf is the same way. Constantly has a comment about everything. Everything is bad or negative. He will ***** about the announcers on the tv and I just yell "then put the damn thing on mute!" so I don't have to listen to him complain. Its really starting to wear on me too.

We have talked about going to couples counseling. From talking to people on here I have heard that it most likely stems from a deep insecurity and lacking emotional empathy. Whether this is a learned behavior that can be changed or a malfunction that cannot, we really can't know. You just have to decide if its worth fighting for after 7 years.

Right now we are at 1 year so I'm still in the fighting for it mode. If it continues for another year or two though, we might have some thinking to do. Right now he is changing, but you can never really tell if its permanent or not. Hope you guys can figure something out.
