Answer 4

It's going to take some time for both of you to adjust.  When he talks about the negative, try to (gently!) steer the conversation toward the positives of the present/future.  

But honestly, your relationship is probably not going to be exactly like it was before, simply because four years imprisonment changes a person, so he’s not exactly who he was before.  That doesn’t mean your relationship can’t be good, but it’s probably not going to be exactly the same.
