Do you tell your SO when you get compliments on a piece they bought you?

[radiantquest]

Every time I get a compliment I tell him about it. I even tell him when I get complimented on something I picked out. I don''t event think he cares, but I feel that he should know whether I picked it or he picked it. I feel that he is the one that is resposible that I have it.

Like when someone says radiantquest, what a beautiful name. Then I say thank you. Why should I say thank you. I had nothing to do with it. I shouldn''t get the appreciation.

 

[junebug17]

Oh, yes, I always tell him! It makes him feel good!

 

[kittybean]

Yup, I usually pass them on. He is so pleased when I get compliments on my e-ring, since he picked it out himself. I also tell him when I get compliments on my studs, and I make sure I tell him how much I love the pieces he gave me. Positive reinforcement!

 

[Luckyeshe]

Every single time I get a compliment about jewelry I definitely let him know. I tell him about it especially if it''s something he''s gotten me like my e-ring. He loves to hear about it and he feels great knowing that I get compliments on things HE picked out.

I think this is a little different than passing along a compliment you received on something your husband gave you. Would you rather people say nothing to you if they like your name? If someone says something to compliment you, it''s polite to say "thank you," regardless of whether you had anything to do with what they''re complimenting. What if your husband tells you you''re beautiful? Do you feel like you shouldn''t get the appreciation, since it''s really your parents that gave you the genes for your shiny hair or pretty smile?

If you feel uncomfortable getting the appreciation for your name, you can say, "Thank you, I''ll pass your kind words along to my parents."

aw, that is so sweet!!! You two are adorable!

 

[elrohwen]

Yep, I definitely tell him. Though I designed my ering, so I don''t tell him about those every time ... but most of the time I do since he gave me the stone and that''s the best part

But I always tell him when I get a compliment on the necklace he picked out for me all by himself. Sure, he got it at Macy''s (I told him not to spend a lot unless I could see it and approve it

) but it''s very cute and I get tons of compliments. He''s always so proud

Your husband lets you have studs?

Do they live with you?

Wow, he''s very open minded.

He sure is

They live with us. When they''re not on me, I just keep them in a box. They don''t seem to mind

.

 

[wsu12]

Always.
I think I see his chest puff up an inch every time

He loves it when the compliments happen when we are together. I try to remember to say something gracious like "Thank you, I do adore my e-ring and he did a wonderful job but this ring pales in comparison to my husband".

 

[dianne]

I do tell him. Had a girls night out tonight and brought a new compliment home with me. It seems to make him feel good.

I of course say Thank You, that is the right thing to do, but I do feel that I shouldn''t get the credit for it. I usually do say "Thank you, I will pass that on to my mom."

He smiles and loves it if I''m passing on a compliment. But if we''re in a group setting, I feel like it kind of makes him uncomfortable because he doesn''t want anyone to feel bad about it. There have been times when other ladies have then sharply elbowed their husbands afterwards. He''s a gracious person, good to the core.

 

[Diva0413]

Yes, I tell him and he always gets so excited. So much so he now calls himself my personal jewelry designer. lol

 

[tlh]

Sure do, makes him feel good!

 

[4ever]

I definatly tell him and also make a point to tell him how much I enjoy the jewlery he''s bought for me.
He really like to know, it makes him happy.

 

[tigian]

Always! I can tell he likes to hear that he has good taste!

 

[lilyfoot]

Yes, I always pass on the compliments. We''ve chosen my jewelry together, so he deserves the compliment as well.

LoL...

My FI chose my e-ring, 0.50 ct promise ring, 0.50 ct studs and my Guess watch - he knows he has good taste in jewelry

 

[Lilac]

I always tell him - it makes him feel good and makes me happy to see him happy.

 

[Tuckins1]

Yes. I know he is so proud of himself for picking out lovely pieces, and on the inside it tickles him... Of course, on the outside, he just grins and says "o-kay. that was nice".
