Quote: When she came down stairs did she fill my “Words of affirmation” love tank with a compliment regarding the tidy kitchen? Nope, she stuck the knife in with a caustic remark about the solitary pan I had not cleared away.
HA! This happens to me all the time! I even mentioned this to my wife this morning. I told her, "I come home, do laundry, feed DD, dust, straighten up, but don't have time to vacuum, and you come in and say, 'this place really needs to be vacuumed.' You never thank me for the other stuff." So she said, "Why should I thank you for the stuff you do? You never thank me for what I see as my required duties."
Okay, so maybe I need to thank her more. However, 'words of affirmation' is my 2ndary LL, and it's not one of hers.
We're having a bit of a down time this weekend, but I hope it turns up soon....
