When I make an effort to dress up, he rarely compliments me. The nicest thing he has said to me has been 'You look very nice'. I've never heard him say I'm sexy, or how attracted he is to me etc. So I am embarrassed to admit but I have been enjoying getting compliments from other men. I don't need his approval. I know my strong and weak points, and I know how to turn mens' heads, however I just want to hear him say WOW! When I spoke to him about it he said 'of course I think you're beautiful I wouldn't be with you otherwise.'But if I see him looking at another girl its making me insecure. And we have been to Vegas on holiday a while ago, which didn't exactly improve the situation.Am I being shallow by expecting compliments or is it normal?

 I don't think you are being shallow, you just want attention from the person you care for the most. I had a situation were my boyfriend stop complimenting me less and I was actually feeling hurt from this. You need the attention from your boyfriend and not other men. You should tell him that you need this from him. That this is important to you and it will make you very happy if he did. If he loves you he will try his best to make you feel incredible and beautiful.
