Today, I told my boyfriend he's handsome, which I do often. Not everyday, but maybe once or twice a week. He got upset at me. He said it makes him feel uncomfortable. We've been together for 3 years and I still think he's the most handsome man I've ever seen. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend and I were out shopping. As he was trying on shirts, I told him that the particular shirt he was wearing looked ugly. He turned around, sighed, and said "You think? Well, your face is ugly, but you don't see me complaining about it." He was serious. FML
Today, after asking my boyfriend multiple times to be more kind and romantic, he looked at me lovingly and said, "You know, you look pretty sometimes." FML
Today, my boyfriend gushed for several minutes about how amazing it is that I suddenly look hot when he takes his glasses off. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I'm beautiful. Before I could thank him, he continued, "Too bad it takes a shit-load of makeup." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he didn't feel attractive. I tried to cheer him up by telling him that I find him very attractive, and so do my friends. He said that didn't matter, because my friends and I aren't attractive either. FML
Today, my boyfriend told me I looked pretty. I said, "Aww, that's the first time you've said that to me." He replied, "Well, it's the first time you've looked pretty." FML
Today, a guy was telling me how his girlfriend considers me a "perfect beauty." Not used to getting this sort of compliment every day, I felt extremely flattered… until he started explaining in great detail why he couldn't disagree with her more. FML
Today, my boyfriend of over a year looked at me and said, "Sometimes I just want to hit you." FML
Today, my boyfriend told me he loved me. I asked why, and he said, "Because sometimes you look good, and you buy me stuff." FML
Today, my boyfriend asked me if I wear makeup much. Expecting him to say something about my natural beauty, I replied with an honest, "No." His smiled softly, gently squeezed my shoulder, and said, "Maybe you should." FML

Men are usually so starved of affection that it makes us uncomfortable. Women get complimented almost every day, from hair, make up what you’re dressed in etc, men don’t get that so when we get told things like that it’s just weird and strange, but deep down he probably does like it, have a chat with him about it

He probably thinks you're making fun of him. If most people don't say he's handsome, he might think you're just screwing with him.

I can't get the visual of my own aunts, grandmother or some other woman being over affectionate, not letting go and outright aggravating while spewing that handsome little man crap.

I'm pretty sure that's probably her boyfriends problem. I couldn't stand it myself. Got a whooping once because I pushed off with my fist from someone. I had no idea who the woman was and squirming didn't work, got mad and pushed her face away with clinched fist. It upset people.

After 3 years you’d think you’d have learned he doesn’t like it and would stop making him uncomfortable unnecessarily stop being a shitty person
