My man doesn’t love me in my love language—he only loves me in his own way. I am someone who loves mushy stuff: words of affirmation, being hyped, and sweet gestures. But my man hardly does any of that. He prefers doing things his own way, and it makes me feel lonely. Just tell me how much you love me sometimes and make me happy. He is too strict and doesn’t joke about me, though I wish he would. I’ve complained twice, but he says, “Don’t teach me what to do.” He buys me gifts, but love isn’t all about gifts. Do you guys understand what I mean? He thinks his way of loving is best.
Even when he tries to assure me, he does so indirectly, speaking in parables. He is so serious all the time. I love cute texts, but I’ve stopped asking because I don’t want to seem needy or nagging. I’ve reduced how mushy I am with him because of it. People need to learn how to love their partners in their love languages. I see other couples sharing sweet messages, but mine acts so serious. To make myself feel loved, I go back and read the birthday cards he gave me. My birthday was in August, and I still read them just to smile. Am I making a big deal out of nothing?
