So we've been together for more than 1.5 years. Our sex life is ok, I would do it even more times than we actually do it but he initiates at least twice a week and usually doesn't reject me.

But here it is- He almost never makes me any compliments. I know I'm a pretty girl, it's not that I'm insecure, I get my ego boosted from anywhere, just not from him. He never says I look pretty, not even when I had my hair done, did my make up very nicely or bought new clothes. He notices, but he doesn't say anything. Or he asks 'Is this a new shirt?' and when I say yes he just says 'Okay'. When we started dating he used to tell me I'm one of the prettiest girls he has ever seen and now I start thinking this was just a lie because he has never said it again.

At the moment I'm gone for work for a week (won't see each other) and this morning I sent him a sexy picture of me to spice thing up (my face with a bit of nice cleavage). All he texted me back was 'That's a duck face'. It really hurt me because I know what a duck face looks like and I didn't do one. I hate it too when girls do duck faces in pictures. I just looked i the camera with a bit of a smile. I thought he would find me pretty and tell me at least that he likes the pic, but the only text I got back was 'That's a duck face'.

I don't know what to think. I'm sure for many of you this sounds ridiculous and like immature problems, but I really start thinking he doesn't find me pretty at all anymore. I mean, aren't boyfriends usually making you compliments at least once in a while? I'm complimenting him a lot, telling him how beautiful I find him or how cute he looks, he never tells me things like that. I don't expect to be complimented every day, but once in a while would be nice, especially if I make the effort and send him pics of mine. By the way, since we got together I physically didn't change at all. I work out a couple of times per week, I'm still fit and lean and I take care of myself.



Thanks.

Be with a man that consumes you... not a man that tolerates you.....

Sounds like you need to tell him how you feel. It's unlikely he'll change, though.

If he doesn't start showing more enthusiasm, you should end things. Life's too short to settle for someone who doesn't get you.

Is this the same boyfriend that chose to live with his parents instead of you.
Isn't there something about him not "properly" telling you goodbye when his parents were in the vehicle or was that someone else?

Ask him if he thinks you are attractive he is the only one who knows the answer to that question and was it really necessary to send him a photo? I doubt he will forget what you look like within a one week time frame.

Something does sound a bit off about that. I'm always telling my woman how fine, pretty, sexy she is and certainly noticing and commenting on hair, clothes, etc when she makes a change.

This. Find someone who appreciates the photos you text, and the effort you make to look nice.

He might not find you attractive anymore. It happens.

You're a favourite pair of well-worn shoes.
