[quote=Anonymous]I also am always envious of this. My husband is pretty stingy with compliments in general, but when he gives them, it's almost always in private. Though actually he has been working harder at this in recent years because it came up in couple's therapy. He used to sometimes "tease" me in public (he'd say tease, I'd say "make fun of") or kind of do that thing men sometimes do that's like "oh you know women, they be shopping" which I found incredibly dismissive and not true to his actual thinking. I think he was playing a role of what he thinks a husband is, based on his dad and on crap media.

He does better now and is way more supportive in general and gives more compliments including the occasional one in public. But I would never describe him as "effusive" about anything, especially me.

I'd like to think as PP's do, that men who do this are covering up for something. But I don't really think that's true, it's my envy talking. I think some small percent of men are just like this.[/quote]
