Dear Dr. Roberta,
I am going to a counselor to try to figure out how to deal with my husband. He stresses my life because he does stupid things that get him fired. I never know when he’ll come home with bad news again. The counselor says I have to think positive. Is that good advice?

Dear Stressed,
Positive thinking may help you feel better but it does not help your husband learn how to keep a job. The wrong spouse is seeing the counselor. Your husband needs help to learn how to behave properly on the job.
