\nI believed I was being a supportive partner by organizing a celebratory dinner for my husband Todd\u2019s 35th birthday. Just as the guests were about to arrive, he informed me that he was skipping the party to catch the game at a bar. What occurred afterward? Let\u2019s just say, I ended up on top.\n
One might expect that after six years of marriage, a person would develop some sense of gratitude, yet that is not the case with Todd. Each year, I would invest my emotions and efforts into celebrating his birthday, only to have him overlook it completely.\n
This year, however, his sense of entitlement reached unprecedented heights.\n
\n
Six years. Todd and I have been married for that long.\n
Our relationship has its good moments, that\u2019s for sure. Todd has a way of being quite charming at times, and we\u2019ve shared some truly wonderful moments together. However, there\u2019s one aspect of him that completely frustrates me.\n
His sense of entitlement.\n
Consider last Thanksgiving, for instance. Todd came up with a fantastic idea to organize a dinner for our families. He shared the news at breakfast one morning, beaming as if he had just cracked the code to world hunger.\n
\u201cClaire,\u201d he said, \u201cI believe we ought to host Thanksgiving this year.\u201d\n
\u201cAlright,\u201d I responded. That sounds lovely. How are we allocating the responsibilities?\n
He dismissed me as if I had just requested him to perform a headstand.\n
\u201cOh, you excel at that kind of thing,\u201d he remarked. \u201cI will take care of\u2026 I\u2019m not sure, maybe drinks or something like that. Just ensure it leaves a lasting impression, okay?\n
I really should have seen it coming, yet I chose to go along with it anyway.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
