My first step out of Newcomers

[PositivelyMommy]

Hi CIW, I know what you mean by it being flattered by other females. Can you somehow let your W know that you are being desired by other women? Can she find out somehow? People always want what other people have, I've found. Maybe if she saw you through her friend's eyes, she might have a change of heart.

I know my H is like that. If someone else pays me a compliment, he takes it like it's a compliment to HIM, confounding to me.

I know about the ego boost about being attractive to the opposite gender but it doesn't last beyond a couple of days, does it? I think people still need real relationships to be happy, ego-boosting flattering is just that, not much more. I always feel empty after a guy gives me a compliment. I think, 'He doesn't even know me, there's more to me than just looks.' Rather, a compliment from someone I love is extremely precious because it's real. How do you feel about that? Am I just too serious? Am I missing the point?
