[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read my husband's PhD thesis, surely a novel is easier to read than that.

And if it's truly boring surely you can give him some editing suggestions?[/quote]

I don't think OP's husband is looking for constructive suggestions. He wants to hear he's written a masterpiece.[/quote]

New poster. Unless you're the husband, or you have magical mind-reading powers,what you "think" he wants to hear is meaningless. Maybe you're projecting, because you have a "tell me I'm perfect" person in your own life. If so, that does not automatically translate into "this total stranger wants exactly what my insecure spouse/relative/friend wants." [/quote]

I infer this from OP's OP.

Maybe this is another great troll, with some boring problem that we're all going to fight about for 100 pages now until Jeff writes it up in his blog.[/quote]

We can infer all day long, but when we write posts definitively, as if we have unequivocal insight into someone's motives, well, it smells like projection, whether you're actually projecting or not. The DH might not need to hear "it's a masterpiece." Some people can take actual criticism of their work. The issues are that she's not willing even to make any effort for him and, if she's being accurate, that he's so angry he's issuing orders to her.

But I am now wondering if OP might be a bot. I have to read AI-generated stuff for work sometimes, and this post--especially the "What a unique problem" line sounds like something an AI program would toss into a "Dear Abby" letter. [/quote]
