To not understand why people post threads gloating

[DawnInOnMe]

About how wonderful their DP is.

Or am I being a miserable bitch? yes probably

I'm not averse to comments on a thread "DH worked a 14 hour day then came home cleaned the house, looked after the kids and cooked me dinner every day for 10 years", but why do people need a whole thread to boast about what I'd consider fairly normal behaviour of any considerate partner?

I am happily engaged so like to think it's not bitterness

Well it makes a change from the DH is a cunt threads.

This was meant to be in AIBU .

Realise I've come across as a massive bitch now!

Why not? There are tons of doom and gloom relationship threads it makes for a nice change.

I don't see 'gloating', but I do see examples being given what is normal behaviour, as you say, in any considerate partner.
Sadly, that considerate behaviour is lacking in many relationships and, even worse, many women who have lived with a controlling/abusive/useless partner don't know any more what is normal or right or what they are 'allowed' to reasonably expect from their partner .
I see post stating 'my DH does XYZ nice thing for me' more as a 'wake up, woman, you are living a nightmare and you don't have to' rather than showing off.

bloody hell if my husband had done all that i would not have posted .i would have fainted with the shock .the work bit yes he is a hard worker .but housework and cooking forget it .

Oh dear!

I see you got this changed to AIBU OP

well it's probably preferable to the punch in the face you'd get if you did it irl at toddler group...

Yes I totally get the "giving examples of normal behaviour" but to have a whole thread about how wonderful your partner is seems woefully self indulgent and boastful.

well don't read it then. Move along to the threads were people are unhappy or hate their partners.....
