Your spouse most likely wooed you with words while you were dating.

He most likely complimented you on how attractive you are or how kind you are, and that he was thinking about you at work.

Maybe he claimed you were so attractive that it was distracting, that he admired your lovely smile, and that he liked you more than anybody he’d ever dated.

Then he went on to say how much brighter you were than the typical bear, and how much he loved your sense of style, your sense of humor, and the way you smelled.

Your guy, on the other hand, hasn’t uttered any of those things in a long time. And you’re hungry for him to compliment you.

Stop blaming your husband for never complimenting you.

Okay, so when I accused you of lying about your spouse never praising you, I was a bit harsh.

What I was attempting to convey was that there is no such thing as a long time. It’s a tall order for anybody to meet.

As a result, I believe you are exaggerating when you claim he never praises you.

Perhaps what you mean is that he seldom praises you, and you, like me, are prone to exaggeration.

The reason I’m pulling apart the semantics is that it reveals what you’re concentrating on.

This is important because what you concentrate on expands.

If your emphasis is on the fact that he never praises you, then every time he doesn’t, it confirms your opinion that he never does and probably never will, which is depressing.

I realize that seldom isn’t much better than never, but if he praises you rarely, it implies he compliments you sometimes.

If he praises you on occasion, and you want more of it, why not concentrate on those moments and see what happens?

If it doesn’t make sense, think about how many times you’ve seen a lot of people driving the same vehicle as you soon after you bought it, when you hadn’t noticed them before.
