Ladies, is it wrong to expect the man you marry to treat you special? I was just reading this post by Diva and I’m like, WHAT THE? How does one NOT EXPECT to be treated special in a marriage? I know that I’m an idealist about a lot of things, but I know I’m not alone when it comes to thinking, hey, I’m marrying this dude, having his kids, making a home and/or bringing home the bacon. I think a LITTLE appreciation is in order. It’s not even about the monetary value. I’ve been blessed with some nice gifts from the hubby, but I’ve been equally blessed when he’s done little things when I was down or sick that just brightened up my day, and made me think, this man here LOVES him some me. Am I an idealist? I know a lot of people are just glad to get married, but who wants a lifetime of nothing special?
A lifetime of nothing special.

I can have a lifetime of nothing special with a man who’s NOT my husband.
Naaah, I don’t expect for him to do all kinds of Diva’esque stuff for me, but like you, once in awhile show me what I mean to you. If I was special enough to marry, it wouldn’t hurt to be reminded just how much.
Hell I do all kind of nicey nice stuff for my big rusty grown one…betsta RECIPROCATE! Some men feel that “nothin’ says lovin’” like a roof over your head and filling your belly. That dog MIGHT hunt if I had no job and no intentions of finding one.
One of my in-laws recently divorced his wife. One of the many problems he had with her…? He didn’t feel “appreciated”…and the sister’s a RN. Now if it’s justifiable….
hmmmm…

To clarify a little bit…..Raulo believes that you can’t have it all. She feels like she had to choose between feeling special and having all the bills paid. So in HER mind….having the bills paid and food on the table is somewhat special. (I think that’s what she meant).

Tiki – I’m just glad it’s not just me.
Diva – hmmmm…. Ok.

People want to be appreciated. It’s part of our makeup. I feel sad for people who are in a marriage that don’t feel special or appreciated.

Melette – That is very sad to me too.
