Short Discussion After Ten Second Kiss

royalacademy.uk.org
Last night The Husband and I indulged in our nightly routine, the ten second kiss. It was awesome, as usual. I like to pay compliments when warranted, and the following conversation ensued:

Me: *sigh* You're the best kisser in the universe.

TH: Awwwwww.....(feigning modesty)

Me: Well, you are!

TH: Awwwwww.....(feigning modesty + coyness...... seriously?)

Me (because I'm an encouraging wife who supports change and growth in a spouse): Just shut up and say thank you.

TH: You say the sweetest things. And then you say something else.

Ain't love grand? 

Have you ever discounted a compliment? Just say "thank you" instead!

Have you been there?

  1. Yup... sure have.  Both DH and I are bad at taking compliments.  Trying, trying, trying... ;-)

  2. Not so great at taking them, but the girls at work have tried to beat it into my head to simply say, "thank you" and then go squirm in private.  :)

  3. Have I been on the receiving end of a great kiss?  Oh Yes! *blushing, fanning myself*

    Have I discounted a compliment?  All my life... *sadly sighing* But I do mumble a "thank you", eventually.

  4. My husband's usual reply to my daily compliments is "you're shot".  :-)

  6. I do have a problem accepting compliments. I usually pass a compliment off in a way that compliments others but not me. If that makes sense. Example: "That's a nice shirt." "Oh, this thing? My mother bought it for me. I trust her taste."
