Re Lil who feels that she got shortchanged and so she's entitled to more now. But you might also have the Princess type who's always gotten what she wanted, and therefore still feels entitled... Thanks for adding to the idea Lil. It makes sense.
OTOH a person with a generous spirit who was shortchanged in early life might be MORE generous now because they know how bad it feels to do without Absolutely. My heart did a number when I read that.
The thing I wonder is why the person who was shortchanged in early life and KNOWS how bad it feels can inflict deprivation on their partner They still feel other people have it easier/more abundance than they do is one thing I see, or in my case a personality (Lou) willing to go without some frills.
