Thank you for the input OwnIt. I don't expect him to buy it. Not at all.
You are so right about the NPD/PA lacking empathy. Thank you for reminding me about the love bombing nonsense. It is really crazy. And frankly, I am surprised it has been going on as long as it has. I would have thought it would have fizzled out by now. I am sure it is draining for him to put forth so much effort it's hard to believe he can keep it up for this long. Lol! Of course, this, causes me to wonder, is it because of me? He could put in all this tremendous effort for someone else, but not me? It must mean there is something wrong with me.
Am I jealous, yea, kinda. How I would have loved for H to put this much attention and focus on me and our relationship.
But I digress.
I was wondering if I were in a normal relationship with a normal human being, if I were to expect my significant other to think of and buy the toothbrush is that too much to ask? Would my expectation under those circumstances be too high?
I am asking because I am sincerely concerned that my expectations of others might be too high. I don't know if this is a real issue or something H is using as an excuse/justification/projection/etc., etc. I want to know for ME to work on ME. Lol! If my expectations of my significant others is too high, then that is something I will need to investigate to be a better person.
