My Boyfriend Compliments Himself All The Time.. What About Me?

sadface123
I've been with my boyfriend now, for about two and a half ish years. Over the past 8 months, he's decided to start going to the gym 4-5x a week to bulk up.

Well! He succeeded. And I'm SOOOOOOO so so proud of him!

Here's the thing, now.. All he does is talk about himself... And he compliments himself all of the time. He has become very very self-absorbed.

It's not that I feel he shouldn't be proud, and love himself more now, hardly. But, now, he will put himself before everything and anyone else. He holds himself to higher standards than others, and as much as I hate to admit it, he's become an arrogant elitist.

I know he loves me.. I do. It's just, what girl doesn't like to be complimented? I'm not talking all day every day... Once a week would suffice for me.. I'm lucky if I even get that anymore.

However, I hear him compliment himself at least three times an hour and honestly it's a huge turn-off. So while his body has improved, his personality makes me not want to er... do anything.

So I guess my question is .. how do I get my boyfriend to realize he's not in a relationship with himself and he actually has a girlfriend who he could lose since he's not really showing me any attention? (When he does, it's usually to ask my opinion on how he looks)

I don't want it to seem like I'm trying to fish for compliments from him. I just want to be recognized as his girlfriend. Even a "you look cute today" is a hassle for him now.
