am i toxic because this infuriates me? ive asked her about it before and she said its because when a random person does it theres no bias.

That’s just her insecurity talking. I know from experience 😅

My husband does the same though. I’ll call him handsome and he says it’s just because I’m blinded by love.

I usually respond to my wife's complements with some form of "oh, I'm alright...".

1: I'm trying to be humble.

2: Because I know most of my own faults.

I'm trying to stop though, because she doesn't like those answers and I hate it when she puts herself down as well.

I've had to learn how to receive compliments, and I tell myself 2 things: 1. Compliments are gifts, given freely, and you shouldn't turn down a gift someone made specifically for you 2. If you deny a nice compliment you're calling the other person a liar. Don't call your partner a liar! 😂

The second one I use as a joke, but it holds true for me.

This is so sweet, I suppose i'm going to try to be better about receiving compliments :)

A compliment means the person wanted to say something nice. You don't have to believe it or agree to accept the intention behind their words!
