[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have the feeling that the problem people are having with you here is the way you stated the problem. Saying that you need "constant validation" sounds pretty neurotic. On the other hand, if I sent my boyfriend a text like the one you sent and got the response you got, I would be annoyed and put off.  You were flirting with him and he gave a narcissistic response. That makes me wonder if he ever tells you nice things or flirts with you or makes you feel sexy. If not, then this is not the relationship for you. Some people are fine with a guy like that and some are not. I am the one who likes to hear what he likes about me. And I will happily tell him what adore about him. There is nothing wrong with preferring that kind of interaction.

O the other hand, if he is giving you sweet talk and flirtation and kind words on a regular basis and you are feeling like you need it constantly, then it is probably a problem with you. [/quote]

Thanks for your response. I know what you mean. I just feel like this type of stuff is pretty regular for our relationship. He is really bad at sweet talk especially over text and he can be so aloof sometimes in real life. Like the other night I wore a nice tank top that made my breasts look amazing. He came home and didn't even comment or give me a compliment. Just little things like that come up sometimes. Or how when we come home from work, he turns on the tv and starts watching baseball and starts talking about it instead of asking me about my day or giving me attention. [/quote]
