I love to live life to the brim, but feel morosed since I am very emotional.My family fixed my marriage to a long time friend of mine. We care for each other a lot. I hate it when he dosen't wait to criticise someone or something. I try to make him understand that peoples choices and needs differ, so there is no point in discussing others doings and branding them wrong.I personally believe there is nothing right or wrong in this world as long you are not harming others. I love to live light not burdened with unnecessary discussions. I cant back up now but give tips so that I can affort to enjoy life.

I am sorry to hear you are feeling so bad with your situation. I can tell you that you're not the only one in this position. Even though I adore my husband he is very quick to criticise others, he always thinks his opinion is the right one and he can be oh so judgemental that it makes me want to scream sometimes. But at the end of the day, that is how he is, he's over 40, he's not really going to change at this stage in his life, but there are so many other things about him that I love that I can try not to be bothered about his incessant complaining about other people. He does it about certain people and about others he is very pleasant. I can't make him like everyone but when he criticises my family members it does hurt but I try not to retaliate. E.g. if he complains about my dad's behaviour (which is funny because they're both very similar characters) I would not turn around and criticise his dad as that would be petty. He will complain about my friends but I won't turn around and do the same about his. try not to let it bother you so much, I am sure there are other things you can discuss which won't cause so much conflict? Good luck :)

Thanks anonymili, I feel sad when he speaks negatively on honest gestures of my near and dear ones. But I will remember to count on his positiveness to feel good about the person.

I'm happy with my life now. As long as I don't harm people and I don't ruin other people's life. I don't like to look down or talk bad thing about other people and everybody have the same level with me. I like to live with my own way and people don't have right to disturb because i don't need people to feed me.
