Its not always vocal negativity that effects change. And too much of it is toxic for any relationship.
If there is so much vocal negativity in a relationship, it's usually because someone is doing something wrong way too often. If that's the case, you better change in a meaningful way--or you could just be Mike Brown and reap the "benefits" of what you've sown.
