I want to be complimented more but that feels bad
Hello ahm so I try to have a relationship and do things on the basis of “I want this to be done for me so I do it for you.” And I’ve told my partner this. However I don’t feel like I get the same back. I feel like I probably do but it isn’t sticking with me and I feel horrible for feeling like he doesn’t put as much effort or compliment me as much as I want to. Sometimes I ask if he can compliment me a bit more and he “jokes” that he just did! And that’s what he always does!

I think it is completely fine to want to feel wanted , appreciated, complimented in any relationship. There is no need to feel bad, you deserve to get the efforts you put in yourself.
Communication Might help , maybe have a good heart to heart conversation with your partner about the same ,letting him know how it bothers you and how you'd appreciate some more efforts from his side.
I hope things improve for you both . Never hesitate to convey your feelings and frustrations, your needs are valid as any other's 😊
