See how easy it is?
Why do you keep avoiding the question on who defines "grateful" and "appreciative."?
LOL I've defined it half a dozen times, at least. American men are in higher demand by foreign brides than are American women, and at the same time that more American men, even if imperfect, are more attentive than ever to a woman's needs, more women are delaying marriage or opting out altogether.
Setting aside American male sociopaths and foreign bride immigration fraud, what's your explanation for the remainder?
That is so right. When my hubby forgets to 'ASK' and 'TELLS' me to get him something, I remind him quickly about the cast-iron skillet sitting on my stove. When he ask for something, I will crawl over broken glass to get it for him and he knows it. I must add that that works in the reverse as well. Mutual respect and courtesy goes a long way.
