He knows that words of affirmation are one of my main love languages and I’ve said this explicitly to him, so he started more regularly verbalizing compliments. For instance, I had no idea that he was expressing appreciation for my ass when he smacked it while I was going up the stairs, so he clarified that for me. So now, to his credit, he’ll say “nice ass” verbally more often. But I can’t help but wish he’d be more specific and passionate. I’ve been trying to wear more outfits that emphasize my figure and I’ve even put on lingerie and done my makeup whenever I wanted to get laid. And even though it worked several times, I now find myself resentful that I should have to put on lingerie and makeup to get laid. I’m not saying I won’t do that occasionally, but jfc, I’m 34 and take damn good care of my fitness and skin care. So why should I have to paint myself like a clown and put on some get up to get laid?? He tells me I don’t need to do that stuff and that I imposed those requirements on myself, but why not say something passionate like “I wanna tear up that sexy ass?” or tell me exactly what he likes about my ass and tits? And he tells me my pussy is pretty but he didn’t start saying that til I asked him if it was pretty so now I worry he doesn’t actually mean it. I just want to be adored and ravished ffs!! When I pressed him about the dry compliments, he said “Idk. Sexy ass. Perfect sized boobs…” I sighed and said “Those compliments are so dry.” He shrugged in response and said that’s how guys think. I’m in need of some perspective, especially from men. I’d also love feedback from women on what they find sufficient adoration from their partner and what their partner does to validate them.
