You can see your own patterns Mona, I bet your H can see them too.
I loved how you just dissected your own behavior, now the real challenges is to see it coming and head it off at the pass! You should have been thanked for cooking your H a delicious dinner. I'm in Mutatio's camp, dinner was a rarity in my house unless I cooked it! I too have sent my W off from dog pick ups with tupperware full of my latest creation, however at this point I'm expecting a thank you.
There's still a lot more to you than you realize and all that you do. Let your H be thankful for what you give him, not for him, but for you. You deserve recognition, even from someone named jerk face.
No more victim mentality for you either. If you do something, expect and accept thank you. Accept compliments, take them both in. You deserve all of it and more.
Have a great weekend.
