Corri: I thought about it some more and I realized that not only do I expect H to be kind and generous to me on my birthday; I expect it of him every single day. Otherwise, what does that say about what I think of myself?
I simply cannot bring myself to think that everything he does for me should be regarded as a gift and that there is never a time when expecting anything from your mate is acceptable. I need to read the book you read so that I can get a better grasp on it!
