[quote=Anonymous]When was the last time you said thank you to her?
Do you think certain things are just expected tasks and other things require thanks and gratitude? Are the things you do more worthy of thanks than the things she does?

I’m assuming genders here for a specific reason: most women are trained to expect family life and relationships to be thankless; the reward is long-term, not daily validation.

I’m not trying to be belligerent but as someone in the middle of a divorce from someone who walked out because he felt “disrespected” and like I “never said thank you”, you might first hold up a mirror to your behavior and then ask if this is really about your relationship or if it is a one-sided thing revolving around your ego.

I read something a while ago that said people
should stop asking if they’re doing their share of 50% in a 50/50 relationship and instead asking why they aren’t doing 100%. Ask yourself if you are nickel and diming your way to 50% and don’t even get there because you’re too busy counting thank yous and demanding “respect”.[/quote]
