Maybe I should be in piecing part 4?

I would say to her.....Sorry you didn't like the flowers I put in the room during our(really just hers) vacation. She will say..no I really liked them. Then you say....Well I took your silence that you didn't like them. Just to throw a truth dart out there that a thank you would have been nice!!!

How about just telling the truth instead of saying the opposite of what you think and calling it a "truth" dart instead of an immature hint.

"I noticed you taking pics of the flowers. I'm glad you liked them, but it hurts me when you don't say thank you."

Or I don't appreciate it when you don't say thank you

Or I would appreciate it if you said thank you

Etc.

Because I think that shows her that I bought them for her with the EXPECTATION that I would get something in return, whether it's a hug or ML or whatever. And that was not the intention. I got them for her because I KNEW she would like it. No other reason. So if she doesn't want to say 'thanks', that's ok with me because I didn't buy them to get a thanks, but to give her something she'd like with NO EXPECTATIONS of anything in return.
