Yes.

nope. DH is though.

No, neither of us are, but I am the more optimistic one. My husband knows that it's when I get quiet that I am not a happy camper.

I try not to be - no one likes a nag. When I do complain, I try to be complaining about good things, like "DH, please make that doctor's appointment. You don't want to die, do you?" Or, DH has plenty of friends whose wives are major ball busters and I have vowed to never fall into that category.

ETA: Sometimes I sulk, and that could just be complaining in disguise.... so... maybe I do complain.

Are we talking about toward our spouses?

I think in general I am just very up front about the status of things whether they are good or bad. With most people I try to minimize complaints or at least be lighthearted about them. With dh I bring up things that are bothering me so we can work it out and move on. It's better than the alternative of becoming resentful, for us at least.

@BabyBoecksMom: I do the same thing! It's usually when I'm reaching for something to say.

@BabyBoecksMom: Isn't it odd? I really don't mean to be negative, I just tend to comment in a way that makes it seem like I'm complaining.

Yeah, 100% esp compared to DH haha.

I never used to be. I was one of those people that believed in changing your situation so you don't have to complain. That's until I realized that adults don't always have a choice in the matter. Sometimes you just got to deal and complaining is a necessary and healthy release. Yes, I complain

Not at home. But at work? Yes. I really need to work on that.

I try not to be. I normally just suck it up and murmur under my breath and deal with it. If I'm really frustrated, I vent to my BFF and feel better afterwards.

In life and to other people? No. Well, unless you are a close friend/family.
In my head? Yes. I keep my thoughts to myself unless I can complain to someone who can relate/understand.
At home? Yes.
I can tolerate things that I can't control in my life, but when I'm at home, I like things to be a certain way.

At home to my husband? Yes.

On social media? Oh hail no, I can't stand that...ONCE in a while it all gets to be too much and I will let one fly on FB (a rant about the grocery store from last week comes to mind) but I know I have it pretty good so I try to be the least eye-roll worthy as possible.

Unless of course we're talking about the IF boards, then I think anything goes.

I've blocked many friends (and family even) that are too complainy on facebook. Like every. single. update. is a complaint about one thing or another. No patience for that.
