Beautiful “to me”

Out for a couple of drinks with my husband, a rare treat (young children). I told him he was looking handsome. He said “and you’re beautiful…to me.”

AIBU to think the “to me” didn’t really need to be said? I know I’m not beautiful, plus I’m middle aged and exhausted. But did it have to be spelt out?

I would laugh off the honesty in that compliment because I think he was also recognising everything you do for the family is taking a toll at the moment and he thinks you’re all the more beautiful for it x

Have you disagreed with him in the past when he's said you're beautiful?
