Does your DH/P compliment you when dressed for a night out?

[Happynothappy]

As the title says, when you get ready for a night out whether with Dh or not, do they say "do you like" my DH used to say this most times but not as much lately, maybe I'm being too sensitive as i do over think things.

Yes, always. Been married 20 years (!!). Even though I have put on weight and feel like a moose.

Butteredghost, your dh sounds like a shit.

Yes of course and even when I get dressed for work...bless him!

He did once, on our wedding day.

Only time in 19 years.

I need to do this more

Always. We both compliment each other. He will often tell me I look beautiful, even when im not dressed up.

My ex never did. Just before I left him (after 3 decades) I realised that he'd actually make the most cutting remarks at times when I'd made a bigger effort to look nice than normal. One reason among many, many others as to why he's an ex.

My ex never did. I brought it up every time he didn’t do it, and he said “I do think it but I just don’t say it”

Now, I can accept that response once, maybe twice, but EVERY time? I coupled with other things he did/didn’t do, I realised he didn’t want me to feel good about myself (I don’t generally) and would subtly be keeping me in my place.

I compliment anyone and everyone, it rolls (sincerely) off the tongue

Yes. Even though I know he would like me to lose weight, he's still nice enough to compliment me.

Yes, all the time, and we've been together thirty years since I was 20. My weight has been up and down in those decades. He also says it when I look like shit and am pottering round the house. If I say no I don't, he says " what I think you're a pretty lass" (he's Scottish).

He also says it to our daughter when she's home and gets ready to go out.🤷‍♀️

Bittern11 Of course he is in some ways. We all are in some ways.

I used to have an ex that complimented my all the time. But he cheated, lied, never committed to me and basically wasted 4 years of my life. So if I ever feel down about DHs lack of compliments, I remind myself how empty those words can be.

Not always but I prefer that or it’s just words surely?

My husband always pays attention when I make an effort. Tells me I look gorgeous or calls me ‘hottie’, tried to run his hand up my skirt and whispers what I’m in for later. TMI? He makes me feel really good about myself, which is exactly what they should do.

Mine dishes out loads of compliments, usually when I'm sweaty after a huge workout or filthy coming in from the garden. He's blond and angelic-looking so if he's being sarky it's hard to be tell.

My DH says I look nice pretty much every day and I say the same to him. It's nice to be nice

No

Always without fail.

No never. On my wedding day he said I looked ‘nice’
After that he would ask me ‘who are you trying to impress?’ If I even put lipstick on
He’s an ex now - thankfully

Nah. That's a minor detail in the long list of reasons he's me ex!

Nearly every day. By far the least of what I love about him, but I do appreciate it.

What does 'do you like' mean?

He does though yes, but I've made it clear that it's important to me.

Yes! We compliment each other equally I would say!

No.

Sometimes, which is good, because if he said it every time surely it would become meaningless?
It is a bit like a friend who boasts she gets a bouquet every Friday. Personally I prefer an unexpected - if occasional- gift of flowers.

Always!
