Happy? Unhappy?

So, I have this friend that if I say anything negative about my life will ask me if I'm happy...

How in the world am I to respond to that?

Would anyone really ever say "No. No I'm not."

I'm not extremely happy at the moment but that is because my washer is giving me fits again. Am I overall unhappy? Hell no. I have a good life. A husband who loves me and would do anything for me. A son who might aggravate me but makes up for it when at bedtime he wants me to kiss his cheek like a million times. A family who is there and loving (well most of the time). I'm healthy. Sure I'd like to be thinner but I'm happy with what I am.

So how am I to respond when asked this question? Especially when I know he is thinking "why couldn't she be happy with me?"

So far I've just decided to ignore the question. I think this might be the best route... but how do I change how I feel about the question? Every time he asks it my first thought is "Why was I such a chicken?" and then "What was I really scared of anyways..."

I can answer that.

I was scared of me.

I'm still scared of me...
