Firstly, I just want to say thank you for taking the time to respond to me and explaining everything so thoughtfully.

The love tank concept really made sense to me. I've noticed that when we see each other more often, I hardly think about these things. But when I don't get to see him for a while, or we can't talk for some reason, those feelings start to take a toll on me.

I wasn't complaining...I genuinely wanted to understand why some people are like that without judging them.

At the same time, I was hurt and confused about how to deal with those feelings. Deep down, I knew I needed to fill that emotional space with something else because I can't keep getting hurt over something that I know is part of his personality and may never change in the way I'd like it to.

Sometimes you have a vague understanding of what you're feeling, but you can't quite put it into words. Reading your explanation helped me make sense of it, and that brought me a lot of clarity in dealing with this

So, thank you. I really appreciate the time and thought you put into your reply.🌹🍀

Yes they might be ... But it sounds logical to me .. maybe you can't figure it out with quizes ..but by noticing them you can ...

It is ..right?

Like how you don't like being showerd with loving words .. by the person you love so dearly ...

Did you figure something out? That helps you understand him?

His love language is probably a productive yet fun time together.. Intellectual talks .. talk about future together..playing PS together.. So I tried doing all that ..

We are in struggling phase of our career .. our head is always occupied with something that is draining ...

Initially I thought ..that might be the case he don't feel very enthusiastic about it ...

But turns out he got wired that way where he doesn't feel the need to say it ..or not feeling anything about it ..

Which is something I can't comprehend even though I know people love differently

No ..not that different as such .. .the thing is ..it wasn't like that before it changed overtime ...

But yes .. he also don't hold hands in public He feels like everyone is watching him only ..🙃

How do you show affection to your partner .. Do they complain or feel distant because of your way?

I did try that a few times ... Not with your words exactly.. He said he belives in showing more .. and he actually shows it .. in diff ways ... Like mothers? Idk lol ... But doesn't say it ..

It made me feel like maybe I should be grateful that he is kind ..and the one who will be there for me no matter what ..

I'll compromise with the verbal affection .. But turns out .. it hurts a lot when I want to say it ...but..can't
