[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I told my husband explicitly what I wanted several weeks ago. We also discussed our Father’s Day plans in the same discussion.

I would love for him to intuit that I need to sleep in, want breakfast from this particular bakery, and want it delivered to me in bed before we go to see my sister and her children, then he takes off with our kids to see his mother while I relax with my sister. But it’s really unlikely that he’ll do so and frankly I’m in my 30s and don’t need to settle for some kind of half-assery, so my make my wishes known up front. [/quote]

I think people are really different on this.  I [b]don’t really have any wishes other than that DH think about what might (realistically) make me happy[/b].  [/quote]

Yeah that’s just it. I’m not setting some arbitrary “you think about what will make me happy” metric. He could think for hours and get it wrong. Why set a test when the only person who is impacted by the results is me?[/quote]

It isn’t a test.  He couldn’t think for hours and get it wrong.  
If he thought about it for an hour, then he would get it right.  Because him thinking about it IS what I want.  
There is nothing for me to tell him to do.  I can buy my own breakfast from a particular bakery or even have it delivered if I don’t want to get out of bed.  No need for a middle man.  I want him to think about me.  I would rather have something that isn’t my favorite that he genuinely thought about and thought I would like.  [/quote]

Then you should be less of an angry b, which you obviously are, sorry for stating the obvious. You literally need to soften up in your personal relationship. Smile more. I see this with so many, there should be a softer you around your dh. [/quote]
