I found Husband in the kitchen cooking our steaks for dinner. I said, 'I feel I look old and fat.'
He said, 'Have we got any cucumber?'
As we went to bed later I accused him of not playing the game.
'What game?'
'The one where I say I feel old and fat and you say that I'm gorgeous.'
He laughed. And still didn't say it.
It wasn't until this morning that he finally provided the necessary response. Honestly I'm going to have to think about re-training him.

Liz--If my husband ever said anything remotely like "Your gorgeous!" I would know he had lost his mind. "You look nice" is as far as he has ever gone. At least I always think he is telling me the truth! Fortunately, my salary never depended upon my beauty and my mother always loved me, regardless - lol!

P.S. Let us know how the re-training goes. Perhaps some of us could take lessons from you.
P.P.S. One of my husband's sisters was drop-dead beautiful, yet he has never ever mentioned the looks of any of the women in our families.
LOL! it made me think of a favorite memory.
my husband didn't over burden me with compliments too much either.
one evening while we were watching TV he waited for a commercial
and said... "you have beautiful feet." I was barefooted at the time.
I knew he hated feet in general. oddly enough it was very wonderful!
I think I might have spoiled the moment though when I innocently said...
"I never knew you had a foot fetish!"
I know compliments aren't important in the grand scheme of things, CC, but it is a bit of a joke between us. As long as we're loved!
That's the sort of thing Husband would say and completely spoil a moment, Tammy!
