No compliment from spouse

Well sometimes it depends on things like age. At 63, a lot of people tend to lose weight if they get SICK. Whether it be cancer, stomach issues, etc., many people won't comment out of respect to the person.
As for spouses, if you're losing weight and changing and they aren't, it could just be an insecurity thing for them.
You want a compliment, just ask someone you haven't seen in awhile "how do I look?" and they'll of course say "you look great! What are you doing?" This will break the stigma that there isn't anything wrong with you health wise and/or they'll feel comfortable talking to you about the weight change.

Lol, if you're Asian, we usually have no filter and will mention if you're too fat, or too skinny or look like you're gaining weight.

I suppose your spouse never criticized you either. Perhaps it means he/she loves you unconditionally, no matter what, and she/he is in love with you no matter how you look or how old you will be. Perhaps that's a good thing?
