[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm Person B (except that I'm very thorough when it comes to safety-related things, like the broken glass example).  It's demoralizing.  When you constantly criticize your spouse, you create a situation where nothing they do is good enough, so why bother?  And it's affection-destroying.

My husband acts like he's doing me a big favor by keeping his mouth shut about mistakes and I should give him some credit for this (which of course, he has to tell me about), but never thinks that I do the same thing ALL THE TIME.  Because sometimes, you just don't need to say anything.  It's not your job to constantly correct another adult.  You can just pick up the glass that got left out, or put away the magazine, or rinse out the sink or whatever, and then let it go.  Also, when you pick at every single little thing, you blunt the force of your reasonable requests.  [/quote]
Have you considered how he feels picking up after you? Why can't you pick up the glass, put away the magazine, rinse out the sink etc.? You sound entitled.[/quote]
