Does your partner compliment you?

[SamE1995]

Curious to know..

Does your partner ever compliment you or tell you you look nice when going out?

No never, it's horrible.

Yes, alot. He's very loving and kind and appreciates me. For balance I had years of an ex who was an abusive arse wipe.

Yes not every day but probably a couple of times a week. At random times and sometimes about a certain thing such as a new top or perfume. Sometimes just to say I look beautiful which always makes me laugh because it’s usually when I have no makeup on or I’m in the middle of something unattractive.
He always compliments when I’m dressed up to go out.

But to balance it out he does take the piss out of me and point out when I look stupid so swings and roundabouts

Yes daily. Tells me how beautiful I am (even when I'm looking shit and full of a cold), I'm not beautiful, but I believe that he thinks I am.

He will also compliment the things I do, or that he's enjoyed spending time with me etc.

Yes. My ex never did, so it's weird to have someone who tells me I look good, my hair looks nice, I make him laugh, I'm clever etc. I find it hard to believe mostly. Which is quite sad.

Yes, not all the time but im fine with that!

Yes, regularly. Today I only saw him a little due yo clashing work schedules but he complimented the stew I made, told me I have a wonderful smile and later said my skin was very soft. Been together 11 years. I also told him he looked beautiful, can't just be one way.

Always but it’s early days! Let’s see if it lasts

Daily. The poor man is still head over heels for me.
I complement him too, but not as often. I’m not very good with words. I tend to do little nice things for him instead.

Yes, i also compliment him, he is the kindest and loveliest man x

Didn’t meant to add x😱

Yes. He told me last night when we were watching a film that I looked like the main blonde character. I said no she's like Barbie. He looked at me seriously and said you're beautiful. I laughed and said well I don't feel it (I can't take a compliment). At that moment, I had no makeup on, an unflattering chin angle, propped up against a pillow with my hair all messy. He's a lovely guy.

Yes, he tells me I'm beautiful/ have beautiful hands/feet/hair etc every day. We have been married for over 20 years and he has always been the same.

My ex, never.

Occasionally he'd attempt a half compliment which would actually be an insult if you thought about it (eg you don't need to wear make up, we're only going to the cinema).

When we broke up, and I really saw him for who he really was, I made a vow to never settle for someone who didn't think I was the bees knees.

He really destroyed my confidence, my self-worth, and it took me nearly 2 years before I felt ready to date again.

Absolutely he does and I do him. I think it is nice to compliment your other half. I mainly send mine a message at some point during the day calling him handsome or gorgeous or something because to me he is. He tells me I am beautiful etc. I think it is nice to appreciate the person you are with.

No. Even when I dress up I almost have to force a compliment out of him. I always say nice things to people, it's very natural to me.

Yep, every day.

And I do the same for him, it's not gushing or OTT, but a simple, you look nice/smell nice etc.

Yes, every day bless him

My ex never did. And I complimented him often. I've only dated one person that ever complimented me and that was back in my college days. It's really sad.

Yes, my partner does. We have a loving relationship which does take effort. Attraction is there and so is the genuine want to appreciate.

past relationships yes and no. Usually it would wane. More of a power play on their part. Trying to get me to chase after the validation.

Yes - we compliment each other. I’ve put on a lot of weight but he always makes me feel sexy.

No, not really. I wouldn't like being complimented all the time though; it would feel false and I don't need to be told how beautiful I am when I know I'm not but that he thinks I am.

Not really. Occasionally when going out out, but otherwise only if I ask if I look OK.
He's great with acknowledging even the smallest of achievements though, to say well done or congratulations. I wonder if it just doesn't occur to him to compliment appearance

Occasionally, more when he's trying to butter me up.
