r/Amithedevil My Stupid Girlfriend Won't Let Me Cheat!

16:09 rslash, hold up. That last one, is not the devil at all. All OP wanted was some gratitude for what he brings to the relationship and house hold. Why is it okay for her to get praises for her job and OP doesn't?

Last story was kind of a bad take for AITD. I don't feel it was bad or unfair to ask to be appreciated by your spouse. Especially if she actively wants to be praised and when husband ask the same he gets shot down with "well it's just your work". Yeah, well, with the divide of the jobs you both choose, the things you do are your job, wife. So why should he praise you each time? Sure, he was petty, but who would not be in that regard. As for Rslash comment, loving your wife ain't difficult. But also loving your husband should not be difficult.

Last story: Bad call, RSlash, I grew up in a SAHM situation and my mom always made sure we appreciated our father. My dad also made sure we appreciated our mother. Both parents had to work together to make things work smoothly. OP deserved just a “Thank you for your hard work, we love you.” It’s not hard and it’s not crazy to want just a tiny acknowledgment, especially when OP even said he didn’t need it all the time. Just now and then.

The last story: Ummmmm….I’m I the only person that thinks the husband did nothing wrong. Appreciation goes both ways. They’re a team the same way he appreciates what she does for him. She should appreciate what he does for her. A simple acknowledgment of what somebody does for you can go along way.

Last story. OP's wife sucks. He shows her love all the time, but she can't even give him the bare minimum because her friend is divorcing a crappy husband. Its like she's punishing him in solidarity for her friend. The idiot is wrecking her marriage because her friend has a bad husband.

Story 2: 7 children in 10 years?! Bloody hell! Does OP's wife hate herself?

Last story, we all need to know we have value and to be dismissed as in “it’s your job” by the wife is rather cruel. Yes, it may be one’s job, but it still doesn’t hurt to say “thank you” or “I appreciate all you do for us.” Kindness and appreciation goes a long way in a marriage. (Married 45 years next month)

That last story makes my blood boil! He works all week, does household work on the weekend and all he is asking for is positive reinforcement. She does household work all week and doesn't ask for positive reinforcement, she DEMANDS IT. Whenever she does anything he gives her that positive response, and she gives nothing in return. He has consistently communicated his needs and she has consistently disregarded his NEEDS, while demanding that he give her what she WANTS. SHE IS THE PROBLEM!

Last story : it’s important to affirm your significant other. It goes both ways.

If last OP is "just doing his job" and doesn't deserve any appreciation, the same goes for her.
