So for a while I have been bothered that my boyfriend never compliments me. In our 9 months together, he has only ONCE said I was pretty, after I complained about the effort I did to look good for him. I brought up to him this morning about how it bothers me. I’m very insecure, been abused and bullied my whole life. I’m plus size but I’m working on it very hard. But it’s a slow hard process. So when I confronted him he said he picked me for my personality not my looks. And the reason he waited so long to make us official is because I look better in pictures (just my face) rather than in person (my whole body) but that he has come to love me. It hurt a lot. He says he will work on complimenting me more but it feels pointless. Now I know they will be fake compliments. I feel horrible and ugly. The one person who is supposed to love me the most thinks I’m unattractive. But he says he loves me (and shows it in other ways). But I don’t think I can get over it. What the heck do I do!?
