Maybe you could slow the race down ..... to a trot!!
My H does that too ... complain, complain .... but I guess if there is little positive in their lives, complaining is all there is. One of my babysteps for my H would be when he asked about what's going on with me. He did once, but I'm waiting for it to be a regular occurance on the road to friendship.
