[quote=Anonymous]Is there some underlying problem? Since we had kids and I subsequently lost my job (two underlying issues), my spouse complains non-stop and everything is a source of complaint. It has affected other parts of our marriage as well, if you get my drift. I also tend to tune-out when my spouse is talking.

I have no desire to end the relationship and have found some tips. First, I see complaining as a form of depression. So, I do the small things that are within my control. Clean up better. Take the kids out and network via phone at the playground. Make my spouse's favorite meal (cheap version albeit). Note that these are also things that give me time away from my spouse, which may not be a great idea, but I think it's okay for the kids.

I hope that my reemployment will improve the situation, and that's what keeps me positive.

If you have no underlying issue, then maybe your partner just likes to complain, in which case you need to weigh your reasons for being in the relationship or better investigate the causes.

Sorry, but good luck![/quote]
