[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course I thank my spouse.  You thank folks at wor, a stranger who holds the door for you.  Why in the hell would thanking a spouse be problematic.  Think people.  What's lacking in our world is basic human kindness.  [/quote]

You missed the point. He is not holding the door for her.

He is holding the door for somebody else and wants her to thank him. [/quote]

PP, do you live alone?  Because there are a lot of things that my husband does for someone/something else (bathing a kid, feeding a dog, etc.) that mean that then I don't have to do it.  So yes, he gets a thanks for that.  Even though he did it for someone else.  Why is that so hard for you to grasp?[/quote]

We are not talking about you. How is that so hard for you to grasp.

The OP's scenario is that she does almost every single solitary thing with no thanks.

Then when the H does anything he wants a thanks. Really it is easier for me to take his cup to the sink than to stroke his ego every time he does it.

Now if he genuinely did something for her... make her a cup of coffee, rub her feet, fill up her car with a tank of gas, tell her to go to bed and do everything (dishes, bedtime routine, clean up house) etc... yes say thank you.

But doing the mundane... not, it does not deserve a thank you. [/quote]
