Stop sending him pics or asking his opinion of clothes, it sounds like he doesn't care or is just a mean person. I have relatives like this, and have never heard them give a compliment.

Op here. This sounds like a sad way to live. I should be able to expect compliments from my husband. I don't think he's intentionally trying to hurt me.

You've been married for 10 years and he has always sucked at compliments. At this point you need to accept that he's just not that kind of person. If he is otherwise a good spouse just accept that this is his weak area and stop setting him up for failure.

I do think he has something going on. It's more than a bad sense of humor. He gives me lots of compliments that are actually insulting. He genuinely doesn't understand. I'll buy a new outfit and he'll say it looks old. This has happened with tons of my clothing. I can't put my finger on it but he's just lacking something.

So talk to him about it. The amount of mundane weird stuff on this board that people don't want to talk about with the person they've chosen to spend the rest of their lives with just baffles me

+1 OP you should have texted back "that was rude and hurt my feelings" if this is an ongoing problem. Don't stew in it and come to us for validation. That text would not have hurt my feelings so I can't understand why you think your husband is broken, but it's your marriage and if you want it to work better for you you need to put in the work.

I've been married for 10 year's. I have talked to him about it. He's still weird.
