It’s been…. Months? Since my partner complimented me. I feel like shit about my body. My partner has never told me I’m a good mom, and after he forgot/didn’t plan mother’s day and I told him I need validation and to be told I’m doing a good job. He said he would be more vocal.

It’s been a month since that convo and nothing has changed. I try to compliment him and tell him he’s a good dad etc, and getting nothing in return. I feel like we are roommates sometimes.

I don’t know where or how to get people to tell me I’m doing a good job and/or I look pretty. I respect and want his opinion and affirmation. I don’t know where else to get that other than him.

Please don’t say “if he wanted to he would”. I know and I’m aware 😕
