Thanks for your perspective Mike it helps that’s for sure. I didn’t think of it like that I just assumed fishing for compliments to boost ego, but yes the self esteem and self worth is very low in H. He no longer dresses nice daily and always in sweatpants whether working from home or running errands. I always used to say pre bd that looking nice makes you feel nice. I’m starting to use a bit of makeup again now daily, and ensuring I am wearing nicer clothes out and about ( unless I am lounging around the house is the only time sweatpants come out) For me that made a huge difference I will keep validating his comments whatever his reason it obviously is affecting him his age
