To be hacked off that she finds it impossible to compliment me????

[Kakanto]

I am ready for a pasting here and to be told I am bu. it's not the end of the world and very trivial but starting to bug me.

Concerns my friend. It suddenly dawned on me yesterday. Never compliments me on anything. I recently moved into a new house and have spent so much time and effort getting it all together and not a single nice comment apart from things like "I like your bath against the wall, that's what I'm getting" (aren't most baths fixed against a wall?)

I'm not after praise and and I know it's trivial but she's fine dishing out the compliments to other people. Case in point when we visited another friend and his wife's new house days later and she went nuts over it.

I tend to be v self deprecating and people often go along with this but it has suddenly dawned on me that this happens a lot.

Come to think of it, the same happened with my wedding.

I agree that it's likely she is either jealous or at least thinks you are so together that you don't need a compliment.

Have been guilty of similar in the past eg far more likely to be complimentary of those who I think need a confidence boost and I had to consciously change because I was being ungenerous to certain people who either always look gorgeous, have great careers, or generally just seem very confident. I've changed my ways and I'm sure she can too. As someone else suggested, ask her opinion and she might give you some praise.
