Husband never says I’m pretty

[Stillnotlearntmylesson]

I sent my husband some photos of myself and our LO from a couple years back. His response back, was our LO is so cute and so beautiful. But never acknowledges me in photos, or in real life. I find this so odd because I always will praise and acknowledge his looks when he makes and effort etc. but he never does that same too 😐

If this upsets you, you should broach the subject with him.

I've been with DH 12 years and he tells me I'm beautiful every single day.

I had this OP, I cant remember him ever saying anything nice about my appearance. It wore me down.

Google 5 love languages- we all have different ways we want our partner to show us love - physical, words, gifts, good deeds or time. Maybe talk to each other about what 2 are most important to you both - then as a pp says - once the person you love knows what you appreciate - hopefully they’ll put the effort into doing that. Good luck!

I was going to suggest the same. It’s not a gender thing, it’s how you show love and appreciation. My OH & I are both words of affirmation so he’s very attentive in that area but gifts outside of the usual occasions never happen 😂

I thought that. It’s like trying to find a positive and making up nonsense.

You need to read about the five love languages. It’s a game changer

How often do you tell him he's gorgeous, handsome, whatever? It goes both ways.

Oops - note to self, read the OP before posting!

I have been married over 20 years, we have never anything of the sort to each other

I am perfectly fine with that, pretty to me sounds like you would say to a 3 year girl when she asks if you like her new dress

We do ask each other occasionally if our outfit choice looks right or not, and if I do ask I am asking for genuine honesty not 'lie to me'
