It's so clear to me now that by bending over backwards to be a better wife than my mother was and have a better marriage than my parents did, I've done myself and the relationship damage by being a total wimp! I've also set a bad example for my children. My son(15) thinks he deserves all sorts of personal service (for example he thinks I should fetch him a pop from the fridge anytime he's thirsty) because I'm always trying to do things for my H in order to reduce his stress in the hope that I might get some action.
