He calls me spoiled...?

Question

Me and my boyfriend have only been together a few months now. But have been friends for over 11 years now. So entering into this relationship I was pretty excited. I still am excited and care for him a lot. Anyway, I never noticed how opposite we were until we became a couple. I'm sensitive and emotional and think with my heart, he's rough, unemotional and thinks logically. We've had quite a few fights over simply misunderstanding each other.
I love being complimented by my significant other, praised with love and affection and other endearing physcial/verbal displays. I'm not talking anything material.. it's all emotions. He almost NEVER compliments me. I think I've managed to squeeze one or two out him. I get my hair done = nothing, I get dressed up = nothing, I do something that I know he likes = nothing. I really am feeling deprived. I'm such an emotionally sensitive person that I really love these things. When I told him this, he called me spoiled by others. What can I do?

Answer 1

Okay you are not spoiled. If you are going out with someone and he doesn't even compliment you then it is pretty bad. You should break up with him and find someone who is nice. You said it yourself, he is unemotional. If a guy is unemotional, then he is NOT good boyfriend material! Good Luck!

Answer 2

Sorry but can't understand if you've been friends for over 11 years why you've only discovered this side of his character now.
It doesn't automatically follow that a long friendship can suddenly transform itself and blossom into a romance/relationship.
Whilst you may have a lot in common as friends,you obviously don't hit it off so well as an item.
Stand back and work out if you really are both better off being friends and leaving things at that

Answer 3

Men are from mars, women are freaking nuts.

But really, you just summarized every relationship out there. Women tend to be emotional, men tend to be logical.

Answer 4

Live with it. Most men are like that.
