I've been with DP for 2.5 years and he's wonderful in practically every single way, but in the last 18 months has just stopped complimenting me when previously he was really really vocal. I've spoken to him about it and he said very little, but that he'd try harder.
I guess the reason I'm uncomfortable is that I don't feel I have to try and tell him or show him that I think I'm attracted to him- he's gorgeous! And I don't think that I'm not.
It seems like such a small thing as he's better in every other aspect than all my ex's and all my friends partners, but this is really important to me. After our 10th conversation about it I just decided to end it, while it's tolerable now I want to be with someone who finds me desirable whatever my age and if he can't do it at 29 then how can I expect it to be any different for the next 40 years.
There's a big part of me that thinks I should just make peace with it but I can't. Am I being insane here? I should clarify he never says anything denigrating.
