Wife is constantly negative (alien.top)

So like the title says, I have creative ideas and always try to include my wife in discussions, but all she ever brings to the table is problems and negativity when we discuss things. She thinks she's being "pragmatic" but it's tremendously disheartening and the problems she imagines are always the absolute worst of the worst case scenarios. Everything I've ever read or watched when it comes to starting businesses is, just start and figure out the problems later. I'm well aware of the potential for difficulties in any endeavor, but tend to believe in myself and my ability to adapt and overcome. Has anyone else experienced this? How did you find middle ground, if at all?

Wives be like that. If she can't be supportive if it fails, bad wife. If she doesn't want to be supportive, then she can lament when she sees you living the good life with someone who appreciates you.

It’s not a wife thing it’s just a human thing. Some people are just like that, nothing to do with gender. ☹️ xx
