While I think that we should always be our first concern, in a relationship the other person's happiness should be high on your priority list, always.

Just a general frowny.

You need to look on the bright side. That bob may stalk you, but this bob is way too lazy to do so. I miss your boobs, though.

Boo. I'll have to think of something nice to do in return.

eta: This was him trying to thank me for fronting him 350 for his new tattoo, but he's paying me back this weekend so now I just feel baad.

Pretty young white girl problems are serious gut-wrenching problems?

This seems like another train-wreck of a 'relationship'.

I never claimed what makes me frown is a gut-wrenching problem.

You're still doing it wrong. Show him you appreciate it by appreciating it. Smile. Say thank you. Enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling that comes from him caring enough to want to do something nice for you. That's what he wants.

Think about how you're feeling right now, and imagine the roles reversed. You did his laundry. Now he feels bad about you doing his laundry, feels guilty, and is frowning on the internet because he has to come up with a way to pay you back for it. Was that your intent in the laundry-doing?

Relax and enjoy it. Do something nice for him because you want to make him smile, not because you feel some obligation to him. The stuff you're feeling now leads to some very unhappy relationships, with an awful lot of you feeling taken advantage of and/or unappreciated. Been there, done that. Trust me, you will be a much happier person when you learn to simply appreciate nice things coming from someone who cares about you.

Or don't, and just post boobs. Either way works, really.

Or she can do what she does in relationships and waits until it's inconvenient and leave then post nude pics for strange men on the internet like crazy.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Showal again.

You want to learn how to appreciate something he does for you? Say thank you. Here's an email I got from my girlfriend because I edited a paper for her:

"You are seriously amazing and I'm lucky to have such a kind and intelligent boyfriend"

Simple enough? But I guess nothing really says thanks like whining on the internet.

Stop kidding yourself. At the very least he wants a handjob. At most, maybe a 3 way with another girl. PLENTY of other things in the middle... but "all he wants is a smile" is total bullshit.
