Cupid’s Advice:
Everyone has their good and bad days, but sometimes, it can seem like a person is stuck in the negativity and letting their poor attitude weigh them down. It can be especially depressing when you’re having the time of your life, and your significant other is on the other end of the “fun spectrum.” Below are a few suggestions as to how you can help change your partner’s sour attitude.
1. Be the example: Some psychologists say that we begin to act like the individuals we spend the most time with. So, if you’re significant other is spending time with you (as they should be), make sure that you’re setting the positive tone and being that “role model” that they look to for guidance on how to act.

3. Show them how much fun you’re having: Showing someone how it’s done is generally more effective than telling them. And, usually, if people see you’re having fun, they’ll want to know how they can join the party. Make having a positive attitude seem as effortless and rewarding as possible.
