He is right now in the process of going completely over-board in the kitchen and cooking me up a three course gourmet dinner. I'm not in the least impressed. I don't want occasional displays of vituosity - vanity really - I just want solid decent behaviour week in week out.
sure, regular positive behaviour from your husband is more important.
That being said.... hopefully, you will still choose to show appreciation for his efforts tonight. Otherwise, you give him the message, that if OUTSTANDING dinners dont make you happy, then there's no way that "everyday regular dinners" could stand a chance of making you happy.
I think it's best to always try to be appreciative of positive treatment... even if it isnt "exactly" the behaviour you are looking for.
