[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The usual thinking around here is that if you have expectations of your partner, you've got to spell them out.  That's ESPECIALLY true if your current expectations are out of character for you.  (Like, how would your husband possibly anticipate that you want brunch if you've never wanted brunch before?)

Wanting to feel appreciated can be different than wanting brunch in your honor, though.  Maybe you can go back and say to him, "I've realized that I don't need or want brunch, but I do need to feel appreciated.  Can we have a date night at the casino on Saturday?"  (There's an ad on my sidebar for the Maryland Live Casino.  I have no idea how you would want to be appreciated.)[/quote]

+1 to all of this.

I immediately thought that line in the movie 'I want you to want to wash the dishes'. It's not about actually doing the dishes - or the brunch - it's about wanting to do something to show you love and appreciate the other person. [/quote]
Yes! This exactly. I don't even know how I would want to be appreciated. I didn't even know I would feel unappreciated! This is all so odd![/quote]
