I agree with L and SM. Compliments are nice, but certainly not necessary. And, let's face it, a lot of days, I know I look like hell...sweats, no makeup, hair a mess. I would laugh if my hubby tried to give me compliments on those days.
I think it's all about one's self esteem and security.
Sorry....I meant: Being told every time I wore something "beautiful or goregous" that I look fantastic by my husband is NOT a huge priority in my marriage....... My typing is terrible at times. LOL.
BTW: I have walked around alot in a t-shirt, jeans, no makeup and my hair pinned up and my husband still finds me attractive.
Being told every time I wore something "beautiful or goregous" is NOT a huge priority in my marriage or as I would guess in any secure marriage. Don't get me wrong I love compliments from my husband, but the ONLY person who needs to think I am looking good is ME. Let's be honest....everything that a woman wears might not be "compliment" worthy. No biggie in my opinion.
If a woman is cheating on or hating her husband I doubt it is really about not getting compliments about what she is wearing.....it goes deeper than that.
To add.....if she is worrying about all this she probably should find more serious, important or positive things in life to focus on or worry about.
Ha, well. I'm way past the point of needing affirmations from husband or myself about my looks. I just know I look fine even when I am a mess and life is good so it matters not. Enjoy compliments from my husband, who doesn't? But not necessary for my self esteem.
I guess that they just seek attention. Even if my husband doesn't say I look nice in an outfit that doesn't mean I'm going to go cheat on him with someone that says I do look nice. I tell myself in the mirror that I do look pretty. it sounds cheesy but I do.
Sounds like radio sensationalism to me. I don't think women cheat because their husbands don't compliment them enough. Sure we all like compliments but if you are so insecure that you NEED it . . . that is an internal problem with the woman in my opinion. There are women driven by attention and yes, they'll cheat because their insecurity and need for this attention will cause them to act on impulse.
But I would say that most women don't 'hate their husbands because they don't tell them they look pretty in an outfit". Nope, don't believe that.
