Self-fulfilling negativity

It occurred to me that the vast majority of my posts here are negative. In fact, it's hard to find anything resolutely affirming my marriage, my wife, and my life.

Is it because my life in general and marriage specifically are overwhelmingly negative?

Is it a product of the inherent human tendency to complain actively but praise passively?

Is it because if it bleeds it leads, and I so I report what I think will be of greatest interest to anyone who happens to stumble across this?

Regardless, does it exaggerate the issues, as I speculated here in "possibly-significant thing" #2?

For example, at this particular moment, I my feelings toward her are generally kind -- feelings of gratitude, and of sympathy for my role in her sadness. But she's in bed, and I'm here in my rantblog..
