[quote=Lonely_Sojourner][quote=Anonymous]DH's requests always come in the form of demands- "go do ABC" or "why don't you XYZ". Sometimes it's a reasonable request, sometimes I'm in the middle of something else and he's capable of doing it himself. Even in those situations I'd be happy to do it if he would just ask nicely and say please. But he refuses to; I can't even remember the last time he said please and thank you. If I ask him to say please he gets very upset- "OH my GOD, it's JUST XYZ!!"

Do you still say please and thank you to your spouse or do you think it's unnecessary in marriage?

OP - We are all a "by-products of our environment".  Further, our parents are most often our first role-models for relationships, good or bad.  BL - your kids are watching and listening to the interaction of both of you and are taking notes.  Do you not remember things like this from your parents when you were younger?

To answer your question, I was raised in the South where I was taught that basic courtesies were to be extended to everyone, all of the time.  If your husband treats you like an indentured servant, he needs to wake up as it really just comes down to respect for your DH/DW...
