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?
Is she like this generally or just with your ideas?
I’m willing to bet that is her nature. Pessimistic and low vibrational thoughts. It won’t work for you my friend, she won’t change and for someone clearly looking to progress and move forwards that’ll be extremely hard.
No offence to your wife btw but some people just have that mentality and you should really implement some drastic changes as fast as possible because as I’m sure you’re aware, time is important.
