[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] It is not uncommon for the partner of a catastrophizer to pull in the opposite direction to seek balance.

He was trying to make the best of things. Try it sometime. All you did was guarantee it was going to be a miserable experience. Pouting is never a good look.[/quote]

Yes my spouse is the negative Nellie and always predicting disaster which means I need to counterbalance him. Esp for the sake of the kids. Usually it’s not as we are doing something it’s his predictions (there will be tons of traffic and we won’t make it; it will be too hot and crowded to enjoy; the kids will complain the entire way on the hike: ds wont be able to manage anything that hard etc; if it’s that cheap how do you know the hotel is nice it’s probably a dump ). It’s exhausting to be around such negativity. I was never a positive person but it’s pushed me to take that role for balance [/quote]

Sounds like he’s good at planning and you aren’t. [/quote]

Not PP, but can you explain why you think this?

I think maybe you are equating predicting bad outcomes with taking steps to prevent them.  Those are not at all the same thing.[/quote]
