Today, my friends were all sharing sweet things their boyfriends had shared with them. After hearing "he says I look pretty without makeup" or "he promises we'll get married one day", I realized that the only compliment he's given me is that my laughter "sounds like a squirrel having a seizure."

Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend and I were snuggling and telling eachother nice things. The nicest thing he could think of to say to me was "Well, I see you shaved your mustache." 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, I overheard my boyfriend and his friends talking in the next room. I smiled when my boyfriend called me beautiful, only to hear his friend laugh and say, "C'mon, dude. She has fat ankles and smells like deli meat." FML
Today, I overheard my boyfriend bragging about me to his friends, telling them I have a great smile, cute hair, and very perky tits. This wouldn't be so bad if we weren't both men. 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, I was talking to my boyfriend, feeling pretty low. I said something along the lines of, "You like me even when I look like shit." He replied, "Ah, that's just how you naturally look." 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, while lying next to me, my boyfriend smiled and told me, "I really like your eyes. They're pretty." He paused and then finished with, "They really help your face." FML
Today, while out with my boyfriend, I gave a beggar some cash, who then smiled at me and said to my boyfriend, "You have a beautiful little lady, take good care of her." Flattered, I hoped my boyfriend would agree with the compliment. He turned and said, "Hear that? He said you were little." FML
Today, I realized that my gay male friend tells me I’m pretty, gives me random compliments, and shows me off more often than my husband of 10 years. I legitimately can’t remember the last time my husband called me beautiful. Even if I ask him how I look, the best I’ll get is “You look fine.” FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So your boyfriend's language of affection isn't necessarily conventional, if you know he loves you and you are both happy together then this is really no big deal.

Then why are you with him? Insult his sex performance, that always seems to get guys down.

Turned on by having bad sex performance?

I'm really doubting that your boyfriend has never said, "you're pretty/beautiful/gorgeous/cute" or some from of physical compliment. I'm sure he's told you that you're smart or funny. Not all guys are going to quote verses from Shakespeare.

then you should probably just keep bitching on fml rather than trying to talk with him.. that seems like a good solution:P

On the bright side, OP, it's probably the only one of the three comments that was honest.

YDI for you and your friends sharing sweet things your boyfriends had shared with you. After hearing "he says I look pretty without makeup" or "he promises we'll get married one day", you realized that the only compliment he's given you is that your laughter "sounds like a squirrel having a seizure."

I'm also sure he's called you pretty or beautiful.. that's usually the step most guys go to before you start dating! If not, ydi for dating him..

YDI for having a laugh like a squirrel.

If you want compliments, try complementing him first. Don't flatout say "You never compliment me". That sounds like you're fishing for compliments...because it is fishing for compliments. If after a month of complimenting him you still get nothng, I can understand breaking up with him. But not untill then.

I agree with your comment above. "Hahaha" is a perfect way to capture this FML (I'm serious) And for you OP it depends the way he said it. If he says it like a snobby little b*tch then why are you with him? But if he said it while laughing with you or with a smile on his face/said it in a joking, nice way then He is a keeper

that's a compliment and a win , that girl whose boyfriend says they're going to get married thinks that's sweet but the bf said that just for sex

There are guys that do think that and are sweethearts. Not many, but they exist.
