I miss being told I'm cute.

My partner (mtf nb) used to regularly scrunch up their face with their eyes glittering and tell me I was a cutie. They'd tell me I what a great ass I had or that I was sexy. Or even that my hair looked great or they liked my shirt.

Since the transition started I've gone out of my way to say any genuine compliments that come to mind and assure them I'm still attracted.

But I've heard nothing. I broke down a few times, once with tears in my eyes, telling them I still need to hear those things too.

They say they still feel them and that its not about me, its about them and them not feeling good about themself.

But I really need reassurance my partner is still attracted to me too or how it it worth going through all this?

Transfolk...go compliment your partners please. We need it too.
