I find it weird that I feel jealous when I hear other people praise their partner but mine almost never praises me. I constantly wonder if I'm too much or I'm trying too much because yes she compliments me, but it's mostly when I initiate first. Like when I tell her I think she's pretty, she says she thinks I'm cute. Sometimes she says she loves me first, then we go back and forth until I'm like "we love each other equally." I love her with all my heart but she's constantly holding back. I praise her myself and I know I fluster her, but she doesn't fluster me much. She holds back and is almost always focused on gaming and videos. I made a new friend that likes flustering me, and calls me a good boy once in a while just to tease me. I never really realized how much I was lacking praise until they started praising me as a joke. My partner says she doesn't mind if they do it, but it has me questioning some things about my relationship with her.
