[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was venting to my mom when I first got married she asked me "do you want to be happy or do you want to be rigiut?"  That has stuck with me 25 years later.

You should not have to thank your spouse for every little thing - including stuff they are supposed to do.  But other than your pride, what does it hurt?  My DH is wired differently and does not always see things that need to be done in the house.  Guess what?  I do not notice things that need to be done in the yard and he does.  We thank each other all the time because we want to model that for our children.  Besides that, what does it gain you to be resentful and rude to the man you married?  You don't have to throw the man a parade, but saying "thanks" is not a huge deal.  [/quote]

Being taken advantage of is different than "trying to be right".

OP's H expect her to do everything, never thanks her and then wants a thanks for something that is not "thank you" worthy.

It hurts because she is a doormat and that will never end well.

This is not about who is right and who is not right this is about basic respect/disrespect. He does not respect her. Thank you does not make him respect her it just makes her a little more subservient. [/quote]
