re: Am I in the wrong?

This shite is petty af. If it bothers you that much, you should’ve addressed it outside of this situation.

It's because when I was a teen I had to help my parents pay off my mother's crippling credit card debt and over the years my mother took financial advantage of me every chance she got and never acknowledged that it was wrong or that I made her life better.
So now when I choose to do things for someone I want acknowledgement and appreciation.

Because its not the answer he wanted.

If I asked a relationship question on the “all women are whores” board and they overwhelmingly sided with my wife, I’d feel like some introspection is definitely in order.

I'm insecure because I have not received recognition for treating her well and yet she is bragging to me about being wined and dined?

If it bothers you that much, make a smartass remark than could be taken as humor and see if she laughs or is offended.

One of the resident smartasses can give you a consult if you need it.

And this has zero to do with your current GF or anyone else you date. You need to let that shite go or at least be intentional about healing. That’s projection onto her because of something your mom did.

How are you HC?

Yes, I checked this fella's history and noticed his sister was a crack addict. I just wanted to make sure he wasn't dealing with a girlfriend that's about to leave him and a crackhead sister.

You sound retarded.

I don't do nice things for my wife for the praise. I do it because I want to. I don't need to be validated

Also, you can't tell tone from a text

Are you wrong? Yeah, probably

You won't believe why. a thread

1. Demanding appreciation. You lack integrity and genuineness because you are only doing it for the reward

2. You went to Olive garden and took her with you. Tbh, you deserve old man Jenkins money thrown in your face

3. Old man is sick and can't remember who he is most days and still out played you

4. If she legit doesn't appreciate you, there'd be other signs beyond she allegedly didn't say thank you when you bought her scrubs. Or is it that you are expecting more than just a thank you?

I know that it is my issues from the past. Everyone has childhood trauma right? I want a relationship in which I am appreciated, and because this woman has never said thank you, or bought me any kind of gift, I believe that I am not appreciated by her. So I turned to strangers on the internet and probably didn't give enough context, but all that would have got me is TLDR.

Not feeling appreciated is one thing, but if you’re always looking for something in return whenever you do something, you’re going to have crappy, transactional relationships.

Yes, but don’t make people you meet in the future pay for that.
