Am I weird for being jealous of my partner's treatment towards his niece?
My bf has a niece. She's around 5-7 years old. He's so sweet towards her. Kissing her, saying i love you, and cuddling with her. I am jealous of the way he treats her. I wanted to be treated that way too. Our sweetness is nowhere to be found. Is that weird?
If I was not getting the same affection, I would be put out too. Have you tried discussing it with him?
What you want is important in a relationship and if it's lacking, a compromise should be made or it will build a resentment.
It could be something simple, do you initiate affection? Sometimes when only one person does, the other can be a bit self conscious..

I do not think the relationships can be compared the love for a family member especially a child is different than a adult relationship. He can say "I love you" to her without any worry as she is family saying to a GF has more risk that feelings are not the same.
If you want more communicate that and talk to him. If you show more towards him maybe he will show you too. I feel too many have hard times in relationships hoping their [partner just instinctively knows what we want or where we want a relationship to head. If you do not state your wants or needs do not be surprised if you do not get them.
