Does your partner compliment you?

Curious to know..

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

Yes, we’ve been together over 7 years now and he still acts like he can’t believe his luck. He knows I can’t believe my luck 😁

Yes everyday. Tells me I’m beautiful, compliments my cooking, my parenting, intelligence, my strength (currently pregnant with the our fourth and he thinks women are so incredibly strong to grow and birth children). Been together 20 years and I know how lucky I am.

Yes, he makes me feel cherished and beautiful every day. I compliment him too, I love him knowing how wonderful I think he is.

My ex never did, but sad really. It’s gone on the list of requirements for the next boyf!

Over 20 years together and he still compliments me. Means a lot to me. I tell him he's gorgeous too. I'll stay in bed and watch him get dressed and give him a little wink. Struts out that room like the king he does lol. Adore him x

All the time. I need to get better at taking the compliments though.

No, he sees it as a minefield I think, (which is nothing to do with me because I am great at accepting compliments and very mild tempered), and doesn't go there, but good relationship! I don't want to be evaluated on my looks or style exclusively but happy to have positive feedback on a range of my exceptional attributes... The other way round I will often notice what he's good at or done effectively and might say 'you look nice in that' sometimes.

Not even when I’ve made an effort, pisses me off. He will say ‘you used to look nice when your hair was blonde’ etc which just tells me he finds me less attractive now than he used to (when he would
compliment me). I have a baby and don't have the same time or money to spend on maintaining my appearance.

Yeah he always does; he says I’m beautiful all the time

Yes, every day for the past 8 years.

Rarely. I get the feeling his family not only do not do compliments, but will slap down anyone they think is fishing for a compliment. I think he was brought up to see compliments as feeding unacceptable vanity.

He has improved over the years, especially once we had children and I explained about the emotional boost a compliment gives.

Fairly rarely but when he does it seems really genuine iyswim.

So for example i had on a new jumper and he did a double take and said "wow your tits look great in that top, err, sorry". It is a bit vulgar but the way he blurted it out impulsively made it seem like he really meant it. Made me laugh!

Also one of the school dads always seems to make a beeline for me and is a bit flirty (NOT encouraged). The kids were teasing me one day about my "admirer" and I was telling them to stop talking rubbish and DH said with a sigh "well you are a very attractive woman you know".

He used to compliment me a lot more when we were younger but looking back it was a bit like he did it because he knew he was meant to. I think I prefer the more heartfelt but occasional compliments!

I compliment my wife a lot, although she has pointed out that our sarcastic sense of humours meake it difficult sometimes to discern, truth from fiction.

So I buy her flowers instead, it's simpler :)

Never about my physical appearance. And I'm in good nick for my age and was beautiful when I was younger (even if I do say so meself)!

He compliments me on my intellect/learning though, which if I'm honest, is better because that's something I've achieved through my own efforts.

...but she doesn't compliment me. It would be nice I hVe low self esteem and go to the gym regularly to hopefully look better for her... no idea if it is working as I never get comments! 🙄

My ex never, not once during the whole time we were together. Really hurt my self esteem and he made out I was unreasonable when I brought it up. Part of the reason I am so happy he’s an ex
