When my husband and I first got married, he would bring me home 'convenience store' roses all the time. Eventually, of course, I tired of them and would just murmur 'thanks' and stick them wherever. Then I stopped getting any flowers at all.

Your kidding of course he took the time and effort to bring you something, anything and it just wasn't good enough. So the thought doesn't count after all and you stopped getting flowers.
I can't for the life of me figure out what happened.
I'm guessing it's your world and he is just trying to get along in it, but for anything to give you pleasure it has to be 'perfect' and he has to do everything 'right' or it doesn't count. You really should get over yourself.

I'm guessing you don't have a clue about me or who I am and you're just having a 'moment' and will get over it.

Of course I was wrong for my attitude, as I suggested. I got over myself a long time ago. Would suggest you do the same. Good day. 8 * )

You know, there are people out there who are like this, and they are indeed very frustrating to deal with.......but at least for them, there is a "perfection" out there that the other person can achieve if he wants to hang in there and try long enough. The people who are really impossible to deal with are the ones who ask for "perfection" but then carefully set up little road blocks to make sure that the other person's efforts to achieve it will be in vain. People like this often keep little smiley faces on all the time, hoping that will distract others from recognizing their hostile little games.
