[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

He just says its not natural for him to give compliments because he doesnt feel like he needs them. He keeps saying he will work on it but doesnt. He just thinks the fact that he wants sex with me pretty much every day if he could is enough of an expression of his attraction to me. He doesnt understand why it isnt to me.

Oh he was complimenting me like crazy at first. So hes obviously capable. He maybe stopped once we moved in together and got comfortable. But its something were going to dive deeper on in therapy.

Is he in shape? There could be some resentment going on if he feels like he's keeping himself in shape and he feels you're not making the effort he feels is appropriate. The fact that his initial reaction was to offer to help you cook and work out rather than say he loves the way you look, even just to make you feel better, seems odd. Or the fact that he's actively complimenting other women around you when he knows how you feel.

Obviously, I don't know him or you but it might be something to keep in mind, because the issue might be bigger than him just being ignorant.

maybe it's because i grew up without having friends so i rarely took pictures with others but is that normal for people to post a picture of themselves online with other people on the photo without their permission? i know it's going to be odd for you to say this to them but have you told them if it's possible for them to take down the pictures because you don't feel flattering enough in them? hopefully they'll understand

No hes working on losing more weight than I am so thats why he went into problem solving mode. He did say that he is here for me regardless just how Ive been there for him through his weight gain. But again doesnt say things like I still think youre beautiful where I will tell him that I find him attractive more frequently or tell him when he looks handsome when we go out.

As someone who rarely compliments people, Its interesting hearing TCs perspective.

I am likely to express love, but I tend to avoid direct compliments.

Though its weird his compliments decreased over time. Sounds like complacency for sure. Good thing yall plan to talk about it.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

So dumb lol. I think it boils down to different love languages. He is acts of service and I am physical touch and quality time. Physical touch including non sexual which is also something he struggles with. Im ok without too many words of affirmation but I do like them sometimes. I learned a while back to adapt to his language and do more acts of service for him but he struggles with my love languages.

Perhaps since hes gained weight theres some internal awareness/shame going on for him mentally. Im not an armchair psychologist but I know when I got big myself over the years, my partner still called me handsome and I would often just chuckle, smile and say nothing back because I was ashamed of that physique I allowed myself to have. Ive lost some of that weight and am still working on it, but I personally had that problem with affection.

How do you think those of us who are actually ugly feel >_<.

Neh. I understand where you're coming from. Part of why I don't do social media is because I don't want to have to deal with being put in a position where everyone is constantly judging me and comparing me to others. Id probably just leave without telling anyone if I felt uncomfortable. But, people know me for just walking away when I feel like it, so no one would question me later and I could immediately move on. I feel like that might not be how people treat you.

Yeah I avoid SM for the same reason. Its just best for my mental health and I dont have to worry about comparing myself to others. I didnt know some of these girls so I wasnt comfortable expressing myself. I could see removing yourself from the situation being best sometimes.

There was a conversation I had just last night with one of my female friends who was trying to lose weight and wasn't comfortable with the amount she had lost, as she was supposed to meet up with an old fling and while he wouldn't care how much weight she had gained (as it has been hard staying thin during covid), she wasn't happy with how much weight she needed to lose. Hell, if I'm being honest, I wish I lived where she did, so I could take her out and make her feel special because she really is a gorgeous woman.

Pictures in general show the world an altered version of what you look like. Take myself for example, I'm terrible at taking pictures. Absolutely terrible. But every woman I've met say I look way better in person. On the other side of things, I've seen some people who take really good pictures but look like garbage in real life.

In your world, the only people that should give a damn about the way you look are you and your husband. Everyone else can pardon my french.... F off. As long as the two of you are happy with the way you look that's all that matters. And if your trying to lose weight, good for you. But lose weight because you want to, not because you want to look like SoCal Barbie, who I can promise you doesn't look as good as she may portray on instagram.

I think it is the fact that he freely talks about other women being attractive, while ignoring you despite stating how much you are struggling. It's the combo there.

It definitely is for me. I don't have to prolong being uncomfortable just to satisfy other peoples background lol. If anyone sees that as me being socially inept, Ill just see it as them wanting me to be uncomfortable just to serve them. Which, when I rationalize it like that, Im like "Fuck them if they don't care about me enough to want me to be comfortable" :p. But, I also don't hold anything against anyone after I leave.

I wasn't good at all about giving random compliments to my partner and I've tried to be better about it but I still feel weird about it. Like, I'm fine giving acknowledging and telling appreciation when certain things are done. I'm an acts of service guy and I appreciate people doing things and I'll let them know. Or it's a special event and someone put effort into dressing up and looking good, I'll compliment that.

It's the random one off things that I'm weird about.
Like, honestly at one point I just ended up putting a reminder in my phone to comment on xyz

My boyfriend gives compliments all the time, I believe it just depends on the person. But even if common, I think it's wrong to accept it as the norm or an acceptable standard, especially when the other person in a relationship really wants/needs positive affirmation

Yeah, he needs to realise that you dont make compliments for *you*, you make them for *the other person*. I want to have sex with you, what more do you want? Is a bit yuck, no matter how you word it.

You've not seen enough fake ones, most surgically enhanced ones are modest and usually to even out things and maybe go up a cup size. Not enough you'd even know there's implants in.

My ex and I were very comfortable together. I'm talking about farting near each other or pooping while the other one is in the shower right next to you levels of comfort. Even then the compliments never stopped from me. If she bent over near me, I lovingly slapped her ass. If she were too far away for a touch, she got a "Mmmm" or a sexy growl. If she got undressed in front of me, I stopped what I was doing and she had my full attention. Or just walking up behind her, wrapping my arms around her waiste and flat out telling her she looks incredible. Even after three years of living together I took every single opportunity to make sure she knew that my desire for her was just as strong as ever.

It sounds more like he was just playing a role until he got you locked down, then he dropped the facade. It doesn't mean the compliments weren't sincere. Just that he was pretending to be someone who cares enough to give compliments.

I get the boyfriend thing. I hate getting and receiving compliments as well. Parents and every adult in my life gave them out like candy growing up and now I just don't want to hear or give them anymore.

I still do occasionally for the gf, but I could easily see not doing it after X years of marriage.

Gotta compromise. He should try more and you should acknowledge that him wanting you sexually Is a positive affirmation. Dudes don't want sex with people they find unattractive ya know

The bolded is not necessarily true. He really needs to try harder and I don't think she should compromise. At least not on this issue, as I am sure there are other areas where we she should compromise or already is.

Marriage is all about compromise homie. It doesn't work when the "this needs to be done my way and no other" kinda conversations start happening for basic things

And it's a safe bet to assume it's true unless the marriage is failing. Which I doubt. This seems like a small problem that just needed to be vented. And I agreed he should try harder

I explicitly said compromise is important (well, maybe implicitly). But if you think women should feel reassured because the man wants to have sex with her, then you know very little about women.

I think he means (correct me if wrong, bsp) that being sexually desired generally doesn't mean as much to them since women generally get that all the time, making it lose meaning.

Whereas verbal affirmations are more valuable as they show that you care about making them feel good rather than just showing that you want their p**** (or other body part).

I never suggested otherwise. Some people need verbal affirmation and some need to not give/receive it. That was the whole conversation about compromising.

Btw. I been noticing people simultaneously say pretty girls have the easiest life, while constantly trying to say things that tear them down and make them not feel pretty enough. Rather it's on purpose or accidentally. It's like the goal is to make pretty girls like Cleo feel insufficient :/. When, to most of us, that's obviously not the case and we'd be really happy being around someone as pretty and cool as Cleo :3. Not that beauty should be why you hang out with others, but we can't pretend we don't take notice lol.

You don't really even get to feel the privilege of being pretty when everyone is convincing you you're not good enough anyway. >_<.
