Reply to comment by beloved_wolf in Kids realize what you did for them and appreciate it once they have kids of their own. Spouses or SOs don’t realize or appreciate it until you’re gone. by Yourfaceis-23

People take things for granted quickly in my experience. I even do it myself with my wife , and her with me. It's not necessarily a conscious thing and we do discuss it if it becomes a problem.

Fr its almost human nature to begin to not notice what you consider the norm, you could argue we take our eyesight for granted but in reality its just been there my whole life why would I celebrate it every day, its more true in long term relationships too.

Yeah. I do love my wife tho. Sometimes she just takes everything for granted. She came from more money than I did, but now we live independently so it's rougher for her

I love my girlfriend we been together for 7 years and we just moved in together and I definitely had some growing up to do i definitely took my mom’s willingness to cook clean and overall pickup after us for granted lol and its been an issue the first week but ive grown from it.

I had to teach my wife to cook and clean proper. Housekeeping was not something she could do hah. Her parents did that shit for her

Flipped situation here for sure imo the willingness to learn that shit just shows the strength in the relationship tho.
