My husband is driving me crazy. Mr. grouchy, Mr. negative, Mr. i don't want to be around. He says when his job picks up, when our money issues are better, when he isn't so tired, or stressed, or blah blah blah. I have told him he will be dead before that happens because he will always be waiting on something else to make him happy. Why can't people be happy now. Love what you have now and appreciate how fortunate you are. In the mean time its hard to stay so upbeat when you are being beaten down all of the time.

Hey, I know exactly how your husband feels. I think that he wants to wait until everything is going well, then he will feel much better, he will feel perfect. Truthfully, you should try and feel happy now, even though you don't have much and things aren't going your way. Here is a tip: If you want to feel happy, try and always hope for the best in the future, that your lives WILL be happy in the future and try and do it. Happy Lotting!

Enjoy life now but never too much as you'll find yourself in a much worse situation. Its best to understand why people are grouchy. Show him you support him in everything he's doing. I'm sure both of you will enjoy life that way. You don't have to die before making your life perfect as life is perfect itself. If you really wish for your life to be perfect, be an optimist and never see the negative side of life. That way you'll appreciate every single detail of the world. That's how I become happy even during hard times.
