I've been absorbing my SO's problems for so long and trying to help in all ways possible that I can't in good conscience agree with this sentiment. If you open up with your problems to someone, you have to be ready to hear what they think and what they say, instead of stating with the preconceived notion of the reply. Person to person, will have different reactions. Some will extend their help in their own ways.

Ehh I think this is a total different category. Toxic positivity is when you’re not “allowed” to have a bad day. It sounds like your partner might constantly put themselves in bad positions then doesn’t take responsibility. There’s definitely a time and place for feedback.
