Do you expect your partner to tell you your beautiful or pretty?

Question

I can’t remember the last time my partner has gave me a compliment that isn’t sexual? There was once a few month ago but that’s because a brought it up the night before and his excuse was that he’s too shy...baring in mind he is 25 year old and we’ve been together 3 and a half year, its honestly got me soo low and I don’t feel myself because of it, he does make me happy I’m not down about it all the time unless I try take a picture or look at myself in the mirror, that’s the only down side no compliments apart from sexual ones that don’t even make me flicker an eyelash anymore.
What do yall think? Any advice would be good to for anyone in the same boat?

Answer

No. It makes me feel objectified and awkward. Like I know I look good af. I need no validation. Compliment my work ethic, my mothering, how I do makeup, my good heart, etc instead.

Answer

Tell him it really makes you feel good when he gives you compliments. Have you ever heard of the 5 love languages? You may feel the most loved when your partner is saying nice things to you.
Look into it together, there's a quiz online and a website about it.
Express to him how you're feeling now, and ask him to try and say one nice thing to you a day.
But at the same time, try to do something or say something nice to him once a day as well so he's also receiving love. This helps create a cycle where one person feels loved so they are more likely to be loving, so the other person feels loved, etc.

Answer

My husband doesn’t really give me a lot of compliments like that. He lets me know that he’s sexually attracted to me but he doesn’t randomly tell me I’m beautiful or something. 
I get why that might bother some people but I don’t mind so much. It’s just not really his personality to do that. He’s not inclined to comment on anyone’s appearance in general and I actually like that about him. It helps me not overemphasize appearance as well. 
I will say that it’s important for your partner to meet your needs, and if that is one of your needs then he should try to find a way to meet that need. For a few months after I gave birth my husband knew I was feeling really down about my appearance and he made an effort to lay on the compliments thick at that time. It was still not exactly romantic- lots of “You’re hot” 😂 But that still meant a lot to me.

Answer

My boyfriend compliments me all the time. If I tell him I love him I get a , “love you too beautiful” or “love you too gorgeous” 
There’s been times I’ve been getting ready for work and he will see me before I leave and say “wow, you look gorgeous today” or “damn that’s my baby”. We have very similar love languages. Never settle for less than what you feel you deserve, there are guys out there who will give u everything u want and need.

Answer

I've been with my husband for almost 7 years and married for almost 3. 
He still randomly tells me I'm beautiful and when I make an effort he always let's me know he appreciates it.
No matter how long you've been together I think its still nice to get compliments and to make you feel like they still fancy you x

Answer

I guess I didn’t expect it, but my husband tells me I’m beautiful all the time. And it’s not even about sex, he will just randomly say it when I don’t even feel beautiful myself. I guess it was one of the many reasons I knew he was it for me.

Answer

I don’t expect it. & I don’t have to get them either because I know I’m beautiful 
But it is nice to hear compliments from the person you’re with, I can understand how that can be frustrating.

Answer

When we were first dating, I would have to tell my husband to tell me when he thought I was pretty. And when I felt pretty I would say to him “this is when you can tell me how pretty I am” in like a joking and flirty way. It was all good natured and fun and he got the hang of it and he will always let me know that I’m pretty now (not excessively though)

Answer

Honestly, I am the type that enjoys compliments until they become excessive. For me I openly communicated with my boyfriend that I needed to hear that he thinks I'm beautiful more often and he has delivered m

Answer

Everyone has a different love language. Im not big on giving compliments and when i met my BF it turned me off until my sister told me to loosen up a little that he just likes me. He can compromise and throw some out but if hes really not thinking about it then yes its easy to forget to
