[quote=Anonymous]I knew when I read the OP post that all of the suspicious posters would come along rapidly to insist that compliments like those are fake, manipulative, he's "compensating for something," he's gay, blah blah. How pitiful and sad. This is about personalities. I have a relative who is effusive about his wife of 25 years--he really does think she's beautiful to look at, he's said openly he still is baffled and grateful that she dated and married him (he's gorgeous, folks), thinks she's funny (she is, and he values that), etc. It's sincere. She's great. And he's very appreciative not only of her but of other people in his life so he's just an open and appreciative person generally. He also credits her for how she has cared for him and their children when he has had very serious health crises. BTW, he was his effusive, openly adoring self before the health issues, so the compliments are not just about his feelings for her around that situation.

I'm sorry that some PPs have never had a chance to know open, communicative, genuinely appreciative people who express their feelings without agendas and without caring whether others think they're being fake.

Life is way too short to hold back if you think a person is special. Go ahead and freaking tell them and yeah, talk about them to others if you want. You can't know whether tomorrow there could be an illness or injury or life change that means you can't express those feelings any more to that person, or to anyone. Express yourself, even if others think being "effusive" is somehow wrong. [/quote]
