I am wanting a happier relationship, one where I am not walking on egg shells & he respects me too.
^^^THIS!!!^^^^ It is why you need to start letting go of how he feels. YOU are making YOU walk on egg shells. So what if he is pissed? Not on you. You did nothing to make him mad. You were complimenting. That's on him to get over or not. But, it's your NEED to make him see that you were complimenting him that has you walking on eggshells.
