Yes actuallly I do tell him I appreciate all he does, but the comment doesn't get returned.
Perhaps the better question to ask is what have you done to SHOW your H that you appreciate him?
There's a BIG difference between saying it and actually showing it. You know as they say.....Actions really do speak louder than words.
Does H do anything for you to show you the same?

Yes it is hard to just forget quickly, as he does. I've gotten better in the past, but all I look for from him when he gets that was is an apology, which I also don't get and that's what makes me crazy.
I didn't always get the actual words "I'm sorry" either, but my H usually did things for me after an argument. I believe they're called "truce triggers". I didn't hear what I wanted to hear from him, but I learned to accept the next best thing.
Have you noticed anything similar with your H? Perhaps the "other things" that occurred in the morning with H were his way of showing he was sorry....
Anyhow, glad to hear the day started off nicely for you!
