Right. Every time I do something, no matter how good it is, DH finds the one error in it. And then tells me about it. For example, today he needed to do up some certs for a committee he is on. He is not great with stuff like that so I did it for him. If it was the other way around I would look at it, praise it and then mention any changes that could be made. But no, straight away he said "you forgot the full stop". Thats it, no thank you, no kiss my arse, nothing.
I painted a room recently and when he came home he looked at it and said "you should have done the other room first". I got £500 from an aunt as a gift at a time when we badly needed it and he said "Its a pity she didn't send £1000". He never says dinner was nice, its always "that chicken could be done a bit more" etc.
Now I am aware that I probably sound like a spoiled child but this happens every single time I do something. I am not looking for constant praise but a word of appreciation wouldn't go amiss occasionally. I don't think he is doing it out of badness, I think he looks at it as constructive criticism. But its not. Its just bloody criticism.
Thank you for allowing me to rant
