to think dh could have complemented me

[PunkrockerGirl]

It was our wedding anniversary today. We went out for a meal tonight, he wanted to get a takeaway or ignore the occasion
I took a great deal of trouble getting ready. AIbu to think he could have complemented me on my appearance just this once. Not a third world problem I know but I feel very dejected .

Yanbu.

Happy anniversary OP. Sorry you were feeling ignored.

If it helps, my make up was fab today. I mean really brilliant, better than ive ever managed before. I waited and waited for someone to compliment me but no. So when i got home i asked DS if he thought my make-up was nice. His response? "Its just a face mum"

[LadyLuck10]

Yanbu op

[JeanneDeMontbaston]

YANBU at all, I would be hurt too.

Can you talk to him about it? I mean, takeaway and no fuss could be nice if you're not big on anniversaries, but there needs to be agreement, and ignoring you isn't on.

Yanbu. Welcome to my world.

[LosBreakingBad]

Yanbu. Welcome to my world.

That made me laugh, WhyYou! If I say so myself, my hair and makeup did look bloody good last night

[wellington1975]

Is he one for normally complementing your appearance or noticing changes? If so then I think YANBU. But if he is anything like my DH he just wouldn't notice.

Happy Anniversary!

Please look up the difference between complEment and complIment. Puts a whole different perspective on your thread ...

[JapaneseMargaret]

YANBU. That can be one of the downsides of LTRs. He could've thrown you a bone, right?

By the way, it's 'complimented'. Complemented means something else.

yanbu, my 'd'p says im funny looking when i wear makeup and do my hair ð??? typical of him really though ! seeing as i rarely do my hair and makeup

[Crinkle77]

Is there really any need to pick the OP up on her spelling?

[twoopsie]

Yabvvu some people don't have a dh and can't afford makeup. ;)

Seriously though, ignore the fools going on about spelling. This would hurt me, but maybe he prefers you more natural? How was the sex?

[Fudgeface123]

Some people cannot resist belittling other people for their spelling can they?

OP I would have been a bit miffed too, does he normally compliment you?

[diddl]

it would have been nice if he'd said something, but if he never usually does, why exoect different this time/

If I'm happy with the way I look, I don't really care what others think.

i've never complimented my husband on his appearance, come to think of it.

[PunkrockerGirl]

I am suitably chastised regarding the spelling.

Well at least we appreciate our own awesomeness

[WhyYouGottaBeSoRude]

What does complemented mean?

[misskangaandroo2014]

Complement is something that goes with something nicely (so wearing clothes to co-ordinate or think of foods, cheese and crackers or stawberries and cream).

[WhyYouGottaBeSoRude]

Thanks misskangaroo.

[bananaramadramallama]

It's not a spelling dig though, the opening post asked if 'just this once, husband could have worn an outfit which enhanced or 'went with' Punkrocker's' - completely different question!

Anyway, of course you're not unreasonable - tell him you were left wanting and insist that you both dress up for fish & chips tonight or something.

Happy anniversary and congrats on looking so fab last night!

[PunkrockerGirl]

Thanks banana.

I'm sure you looked lovely, OP, but as soon as I saw your thread title I thought of this.
