i applaud you for trying to work on this issue.
i have an ex-boyfriend who never believed a nice thing i said to him. he thought i was only saying nice things to him because i loved him, not because i thought they were true.
it pissed me off after a while, because what am i, some love-blinded idiot who cant tell the difference between something that appeals to me and something that doesnt? i give compliments freely, but not idly. it was indeed an insult to me to suggest that i was sucking up or just too dumbly in love to have a valid opinion.
