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

OnlyDeCapPlease:

So why the complaints now? Is it because some random guys, who just want to chop and clean mouth, are now paying you compliments? Empty compliments that they can pay to anything in skirt. Compliments that have no depth and just rolls out of their mouths very easily.

Tell her, empty complimentaries. E go soon clear for her eyes

Can I ask you a question?
Sincerely tell us when last u complimented ur husband.
How often do you compliment him?

That's how one woman was saying her husband doesn't show her affection through text or voice calls.
I asked her to tell me when she did same, she was looking at me like...


if you ask this trouble maker, seeking for compliments now, when last she kneeled down for her husband and also throw the same question for her , the last time she kneeled down for her pastor. I'm very sure it will hard in her month to say word too.

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.

I don't know
my dear it can be really frustrating.

I agree and I am a female. Women want the moon and the stars and want to offer lazy pussy in return.

No human being should be built like that. And you do not need to seek compliments from him.

That is a sign of his immaturity and low emotional intelligence. Dig deeper and you will find ego and a lack of appreciation, and just a tiny bit of jealousy.

Such a person can not appreciate other people's successes.

But if he does not complain about your faults, then he is not investing his emotions into that relationship. Meaning his wife is just invisible to him.

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.

Flesh and blood have not revealed that to you.
You Sabi men wella.
People like you always laugh best!

This thread is extremely sad - Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, he complimented them, encouraged them, strengthened them when their faith was weak... that same Jesus asked us, husbands, to love our wives as HE loved the church... Philippians 2:3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

“Husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church because we are members of his body” (Ephesians 5:28-30).

The bible is super clear... nourishing your spouse not only involves meeting your financial obligations to her, but it also includes building her up, feeding her soul, making her feel important, heard, loved, and supported. Compliments are hard - I know, I'm a Nigerian, we are not used to it or raised to compliment others, but I learned - there is power in your words that you may not understand. Always remember, YOU are the most important person to your wife... regardless of how strong she is emotionally, she craves your approval, she wants to know that she means more to someone, she wants to walk on clouds, knowing there is someone who thinks the world of her.

Love is not simply paying the bills... if that was the case, Jesus would not have bothered to wash the feet of the disciples, encouraged them, prayed for them, ate with them, told them that they would sit down with Him in paradise... He could simply have come, died on the cross, and be done with it.

When your wife has to come to a social forum to ask why her husband has not complimented her in 7 years, you have failed as a husband. When fellow men tell her to get over it and be grateful she has someone who married her, we have failed as a society.

I am not perfect... but if there is one thing that drives me, it is knowing that anywhere my wife goes, i want her to be one of the few who says "thank you Jesus for my husband" under her breath when others are busy complaining about their husbands. If that means making sure i compliment her 5 times a day, so be it. Compliment a woman and she will move heaven and earth for you. Nobody refuses to water the soil and then acts surprised when seeds do not grow.

I don't know
He erroneously thinks complement would get to your head. You want real solution? Tell this to Someone he respects a lot and listen to. NLanders would not really help you, but that person would talk sense into your Husband since he honours the person.

All these bitterness because of an African man who doesn't know how to compliment his wife's beautiful face? May be you don't know that an average Nigerian man finds complimenting boring and annoying! So, her husband is just a typical Nigerian husband, let her know that before she does stupid thing that she will later regret

It's strange indeed, but you have to balance it out with other things.
- Does he take care of you?
- Does he take care of his children?
- Does he relate to you in a reasonable way?
- Does he show you a decent level of respect?
- Does he show your family and friends a reasonable level of respect
- is he faithful?
- Does he have bad habits like, drinking, smoking or drug use?
- is he diabolic?
- Does he beat you or the kids?
- Does he satisfy you to a reasonable level in bed?
- is he mentally stable?
- Does he misuse money?
- Does he go out too much?
- Does he lavish all his money on one flashy sweet mouth Pastor, or alfa, prophet etc?
- is he gay?

- WAS HE PAYING YOU COMPLIMENTS BEFORE YOU GOT MARRIED??

As you can see, there are a lot of things that can be wrong in a marriage. He might not be paying you compliments because its just not his nature (you can tease compliments out of him instead of using it to provoke him). You must have noticed this before you got married but you still went ahead with him.

So why the complaints now? Is it because some random guys, who just want to chop and clean mouth, are now paying you compliments? Empty compliments that they can pay to anything in skirt. Compliments that have no depth and just rolls out of their mouths very easily.

I hope that some of those compliments are not getting to your head and you are now looking for an excuse to cheat?

Oga, drinking isn't a bad habit. The bad habit is DRUNKENNESS.
Similarly, beating the wife is a bad habit. But beating the kids (especially to reset their brains when it is malfunctioning) to correct them is not a bad habit.

Thank you.
