I could tell her she's beautiful a million times, a million different ways, and just didn't register, but if someone else said it, she was on cloud nine.
I hate that because I am honest with her. If she asks me to be, I tell her ways for her to improve (I was a fashion photographer so...)
That's so funny. I'd tell my wife how adorable she was, and how fine she looked, that she made my heart go pitter-pat, and she thought I was kidding!
She'd tell me I looked great whenever I dressed up some for going out or work, always told me I was gorgeous - and I had no problem believing her!! Ha, ha.
I'm a photographer too. Ya'd think these gals would take us more seriously when we tell them they look good... we're giving them a professional opinion.
Twice lately I have told her how great she looked and she got shy about it and seemed at least to notice I said it.
Some people just have a problem accepting compliments, they become embarrassed or feel they don't deserve it; they become self-deprecating. I used to be like that. Not any more!!! Pay me a compliment and it's a big smile and a big thank you from me. And why not?
