So of all the problems we are facing in this country and the ones been faced in marriages, all you could complain about is "lack of compliment" from your husband? Like seriously?

It's just like expecting my father in the village to always tell my mother "I love u" or "I miss u". Those new generation fancy words are alien to them. Some men raised by such parents also find it difficult " complimenting" their spouse or girlfriends. But that doesn't mean the man doesn't love or care for her.

It seems you want break your marriage you’re not dating, you’re Couples, how is that a problem If he’s fulfilling his obligations towards you I don’t think that a problem.

Sometimes I wonder if it's normal or is just the man I married or there are men like this I have been married now for 7 years.

And for ones my husband has never complimented me in anyways.

The funny thing is people outside will appreciate and compliment me even before him but not the man I married no Matter how much effort I put into doing anything.

Several times I spoke to him about it
But he will flare up.

And for me I feel appreciating and complimenting.
Your partner makes them happy and give them the energy to do better.

Try reading a book called The 5 love languages

Apparently, what makes him feel loved is different from what you call love

Don't know, but if you ask him, he'll mentioned other things he's been doing at least, that's because words of compliments are not his primary love language

You may not also be speaking his love language also possibly

Try and read the book, the simple knowledge has turned many marriages headed for the rock around

You'd be able to win him over
I wish you the best of luck

ur husband is either not romantic or deep down in his heart he does not love u 100%.....but he wont admit that to you or any one....u will be surprised to see how easily ur hubby compliments others outside and for him to be reluctant to apply your love language even after been scolded for it or reminded speaks volume u may not believe me but that is a fact....why flare up when ur wify, life partner make a simple request or reminder that require little or nothing to do?.....deep down ur husband does not love you and if he does not 100% i can bet you on this on any amount....u may be shocked u were not the "ideal" woman he intended marrying but circumstances made a choice for him....sorry i have to be harsh but that is the way it is...

Communication will do the trick, madam.

Find a way to pique his interest in having a tete a tete with you. This should allow you to jokingly or as a matter of fact, tell him what you feel he isn't doing right after praising him for some other things you think he does right.

Not being the complimenting type is a follow-come thingy. I'm in the same boat but I've had to learn on the job.

His not complimenting you doesn't mean he doesn't appreciate you, it is just what it is. "You can't give what you never had".

You can imagine how alien it almost became for most of us who grew up without hearing the words "I love you or I miss you" from our old-school parents. It never meant they loved or missed us less, it was just not a part of their lexicon. But with time, we had to learn on the job with our kids.

It is well with you ma.

Best comment of the year by a country mile. Nice one

I don't know

Do you compliment him?

Is he or has he been having a difficult financial flow?

Is there something you know he desires but has been eluding him? Like a better paying job, or something else?

He could be predominantly occupied in his thoughts about something (mostly financial) that he has time for nothing else but the success in that area.

Instead of waiting for his compliment, you could reverse it by asking his opinion on your appearance, your dressing or anything else you want to be complimented on.

Did he compliment you during courtship? If he did, then he is preoccupied now. If he didn't then it's his nature.

Outsiders will always compliment. Don't be bothered by that. Don't you see how your president compliments other countries but calls his own 'lazy yoots'? Just laugh it off.

Sounds exaggerated. You mean even the food he eats has never made him go "that was delicious"?

Me that likes compliments. Things like "honey, this soup is sweet o, this meat is sweet, can I have more?"

Or

"You look hot in that dress, you should dress like this more often".

Or

"You are really pushing for hot these days".

Compliment a woman and you'll have her mumu button forever. Just mean the compliments.


You better change your mindset. Not everyone has time for that. Except a jobless man.

Do you know what they call responsibility and honest living? To provide for your household in a country like Nigeria in a legit way needs a separate complimenting.

Don't expect someone who works to make sure his family are happy to be complementing you unnecessarily. His job is to provide and your job is to keep the house together. Infact he needs more compliment than you.

If you complement him he will definitely reciprocate. Try to make provisions and you will see him change but if he is the one doing all things, my dear he is your god.

My dear relax. Whatever negative you put your mind to tends to make you negative too and weigh you down. Try and be positive and rise above the negativity!

Since he doesn't compliment you, keep on doing whatever good you are doing. Good things speak for itself... If not everyday, it will surely.. someday!

Don't ever ask him again for compliments. Try and be good to him always. Thank anyone that compliments you but don't look for it because of your good works.

Every good thing you do, do it for God and not for human beings. He is one that will reward you. Look up to Him always! He always has a way of making things turn to your favor.

Remain Blessed.

Wow! Lucky you.

Honestly to be taking care of responsibility through honest loving in Nigeria can be frustrating. So, if your husband in making honest living, taking care of his responsibility and still complements you always, he is surely a rare gentleman. Don't lose him

Although, what he did is not right, learn to understand him for who he is. He may never change, but learn to love him that way and disregard compliments, appreciation from others outside.
