Which of the two, seems to have a healthier mindset (in a very general sense)?
I know it comes down to individual personalities, but for the sake of argument, hopefully let's try to let in some opinions based on well-founded observations and experience.... but as always, please no flames and just constructive discussion
between my husband and myself I believe it's me.
My husband has a stressful job which requires him to always expect the worst.

In my own personal relationship with my husband I would have to agree with this.
