I agree with Sandi, don't give into being drawn into his negative state. I think MLCers are drawn to being negative much like a moth is drawn to a light at night. Yesterday I let my wife know that there had been a dramatic change for the positive in my medical condition. Her response was, good, one less thing to worry about. She then said, Let me add a new stressor. Rather than rejoicing in a positive, She needs to tear it down immediately with a negative. My response to her was to suggest a good solution to the problem and turn it into a positive as well. She had no comeback to that but agree to it and end the email exchange as she could tell I was not going to join the pity fest.
