They know you're good looking so they try to neg you in order to keep you.

I once had a partner who refused to give me compliments because it might “give me a big head.” Apparently, the worst thing I could have — according to him — was self-esteem. He saw taking pride in one’s personal appearance as being vain and having an inflated ego. He went out of his way to never extend compliments because his insecurity was a vast and ugly thing he chose not to address. The fact that the mismatch in levels of attractiveness might have been all in his head didn’t make a difference. He felt it, and he responded by doing what he could to make me feel worse, not better.
