  1. I have the same problem with a husband who puts me down all day. After seven years I just figured out a perfect solution! Whatever he says I turn it around 180 degrees, repeat it as a compliment and thank him for it. I sound like I have gone off my nut, but who cares? He is driving me crazy anyway. I feel fantastic after, he is a little confused. Here is an example: He says," You never close back door and let all the hot air in while we have the AC on," I say," Thank you for reminding me that I am very conscientious and always remember to close the doors." He may come back with: "I don't understand you, I just said you left the door open again." I say Yes, I do close all the doors in an efficient way, than you for pointing it out." Somehow this not only neutralizes the negativity, but actually makes me feel good about myself! Try it!!
