He is simply exhibiting the same cynicism that the rest of Americans are exhibiting right now. Some sociologists and heavy thinkers have described the Post-modern lifestyle by its ingrained cynicism.
In today's spin-doctored, media-driven, culture it is hard NOT to be cynical. In fact, you must pull out of some part of the culture in order to suspend this cynical outlook, because you are consistently bombarded with disingenuous, and manipulative messages.
Some examples:
- TV advertising: they try to use emotions to manipulate you to buy their product
- Political campaigns: they lie, cheat, and steal, to get into office
- Political talk of any kind: the focus is always on controlling spin, not explaining the truth
- Friendships: lying is a social lubicant, is it far easier to tell your friend that she does NOT look fat in that dress, than to tell her that she does indeed need to lose a few pounds.
I hope that you and your husband are able to find a new path to truth and honest discourse (of course you will probably have to blaze that one yourself). Good luck!

Thats just the way some people are.Maybe someone has betrayed him in the past, causing him to have the attitude that they are all the same.Dont worry though, maybe between you you have the perfect balance, with you being less cynical and he being more wary.My partner and i are the same!it actually works well, and i find his cynicism hilarious!

First, do not worry so much because I believe what happen is, he do not trust in anyone in really, that's why he react like that. It's not a bad thing at all, everybody feels like that nowadays. Some people show that feeling more than others. He needs some kind of distraction, he is fed up of routine. Take him for an holiday on a mountain or something like that, where he can't think about people and just find peace. I believe that will gonna work. Best wishes!

~Sounds like your husband has been screwed over a few times in his life. I'm the same way, it comes from knowing the truth. The other fellow is right, everyone has a hidden agenda.
You could try church or counseling.
Good luck.~

In a way,most people do have a hidden agenda, whether it be for good, or evil.

He has probably been messed about in the past and had people play games with him to get what they want.
You are right to worry, its no way to live and could lead to some mental health issues like depression.
Talk to him and try to get him to open up.

He's insecure and paranoid. Convince him to see a specialist. My Dad was like that and from experience I can tell you it will probably get worst. Good luck!
P.S. you might want to talk to a counselor yourself just so you can get some ideas as to how you should approach your husband about this.

Reversal because he has the problem and probably a hidden agenda - classic

Part of me agrees with him! But, I try to remember that it is really only a small minority of people who are b*stards- it's just that when you've had first hand experience of them it makes you wary of the majority. It's just his way- nothing much you can do about it really- except try a little reassurance with a bit of humour.
