Thanks for that advice.
for the past year and a half I’ve been giving him gifts on special occasions that always include love notes etv. I’ve given him a book of love notes that included a letter, a list of 50 things I love about him, basiclly I use special occasions to let him know how much he means to me. I never get that kind of love returned though. He gets miserable that I’ve given him a better gift, but he never takes my advice on the gifts I want.
I’m kind of feeling like my love needs aren’t being met. I’ve talked to him about love languages before and that mine seems to be words of affirmation, all he ever says is “I love you”, but I need more than that to feel loved.
He’s told me a few times that he had a romantic side when he was at school but he got rejected a few too many times that he just locked it away. He said he’ll become that guy again one day, but it’s been a little over 2 years, how can I encourage him to be that romantic guy again?
