Iba talaga ang feeling when the praise is coming from the husband. My husband is also very generous in giving praises and it makes me feel better about myself all the time.
I’m not so sure about flattery being a mirror. When I flatter someone I do it as a show of recognition and respect. I may not believe it from my point of view but I do so knowing that most people would agree with what I’m saying…sort of pointing out the obvious when someone is wanting of an honest opinion. For example, I will tell a gay friend something to the effect of “You’re a good looking guy. If I was gay I’d hit on you.” or like complimenting a much older woman who still looks good for her age. I probably wouldn’t act on my words if I found her sexy out of respect but I’d still mean what I said. I don’t know your husband so obviously that’s where it’s purely philosophical. But coming from a guy in his 20’s without kids, you still have “it”, not just physically but from your personality based on the way you write. So maybe he’s being honest after all…

Congratulations! I like the flattery quote! And husbands like your fafa deserve more than a Shuffle, really admirable! 🙂
Awwww! You just have a great husband who loves you 🙂 If he is flattering you, I’m sure he doesn’t see it that way 😀
Yay for the iPod!
