Smile, hug, kiss, end of discussion.

Wash,Rinse, repeat.

It's tough, but it's effective. Old habits die hard. It took about 4 months of doing this daily and overlooking it without showing frustration when I couldn't.

Sometimes our partner needs us to teach them things they never learned at home in a loving way, until the understand and are motivated to teach and grow on their own.

Last, when you work and try to break that negativity down bit by bit, it usually has a source to it that is easier to identify and it helps you cope as he learns to strengthen the skill.

Positivity has more power than negativity. You really have to fight for it.

You must have the patience of a saint.  I am in awe of you right now.  Your DH is lucky to have you![/quote]

LOL! Thanks.

I had to learn to increase my patience or lose my peace, and have an attitude of grace when I made mistake, and when he made mistakes. And to step away when I couldn't so I wouldn't jeopardize my work. Trust me there were many steps backward before there were any forward on my end! He is pretty awesome too and I had to hold on to the things I knew were true about him even when I couldn't see it.

People are just people. Most of us are really only doing what we learned how to do, and most of us are really just balancing sharing love but not being afraid of vulnerability.[/quote]
