omg, I dont know what to do about my 100% negative Marine husband. Hes getting worse.....dm

your Marine husband?

SUPPORT THE TROOPS, AMERICA HATER!

Think of his positive traits and have a great Thanksgiving, alot of marine wives don't have that opportunity in this time of war.

lmfao

marines are usually toolbags anyway

if this is a true story, and your not a troll. I would do this:

Find a wonderful Christian church, evangelical, bible believing, outreaching concerned church.

I would go to church, if your not 'born again' I would ask the Lord to change my heart for Him.

I would pray both silently and infront of my husband.

I would curb my tongue, soften my tone, show concern and love and charity, for my husband, for my family, for my community and my church.

I would spend hours reading the bible, turn from the tv, movies and news and not engage with them, but if your husband wants to talk about the 'news' listen politely and show that you care what he is talking about. But don't add to the fuel or the fire.

Show him a better way to be. Be the way YOU want him to be. When he sees its not just a temporary 'thing', and that you have peace of mind, heart and soul, maybe he will become interested.

He is not happy in his skin, in his life or with the path he has choosen. But people dont automatically figure it out or have the energy, faith, know how to get off 'that path'.

The Lord will help you, he will first change you, and with adamant prayer and faithfulness, he will show your husband through you.
It takes faith, it takes time and patiance.
If you love your husband, you must first love God.

Talk is cheap, action is what will give credance.
Don't talk a lot about your change, just show him.

Get involved in charity work, helping others, fill your time creatively, positively and with good intention fulfilling needs of people who can not fulfill their own.
We can not change others.
We can only change ourselves.
And through dailey prayer, contact and intercession, can we ever hope to influence a change in those we love.

He is suffering from Depression.
Get him to a doctor.

get some ear plugs

Head everyday will cure this 100%.....

you mean get him some prozac

Oh I remember the Marine wives when I was in the Army stationed at a Marine base...

Fun times

1 - Let him starve
2 - Let him sleep outside, in the cold
3 - Let him get really sick

Then, when he is hungry, cold and sick, tell him now he's got reason to be so freaking negative.

Attention whore much?

Look around lady, the whole fucking world is pissed.

Gotta get the prescription from the doctor first.
Also, he needs to be evaluated for PTSD or any other ailments.

The least effective means of dealing with it is posting on this dumb message board looking for answers.

I'm on his team...

Bills are a pain in my fucking dick.
Truck tires do need air...so fucking stupid!
Those steaks you bought DID suck, do some fucking research next time.
Florida is a fucking hell hole, like most of this country.
His Boss, Eric, is a known fucking degenerate asshole.
FUCK having people over for Thanksgiving...nobody touches my feast.

What you are describing is typical manly man behavior, there's nothing wrong with your husband. Now make me a fucking sandwich and shut your fucking mouth. I love you.

If he's a marine husband...

Maybe he just needs to get back into the water!

Does he have ptsd?

Anyway check into these docs they really helped me

It taught me to look forward. Where the eyes go the body follows. Dr Q is awesome.

''support the troops????'''

it's time we don't support them.....

No, you're just an asshole.

He might be suffering from PTSD because of his wartime experiences. With that being said, you can't live with this, so suggest he sees a therapist.

Honest communication is the key.

Ah, c'mon....that was funny and creative...stop being 100% negative!

This is true.

Why?

OP, if your husband has been deployed, he may be suffering from PTSD. PTSD manifests in many different ways, the most noticeable way being irritability, negativity, and defensiveness. Another sign is insomnia, nightmares, and nightsweats.

I dunno... I would leave him unless you have kids.

Let him be terrible. I know some ex-maries and they are wonderful people.

This has nothing to do with military service - if you dont like him and dont have a family, feel free to leave him...


He probably cannot get better with you..... And you probably will not be happy with him.

So you live in Florida, drive around with flat tires and can't cook. Your hubby is pointing out FACTS and you call him negative?

Instead of posting on this site, maybe you should give him a hand job and clean the house.

This sounds like Dysthymia.

Amen :D
