He...'never talks about your relationship'. Talk is highly overrated. At the end of the talk...you want the actions to occur.
That said....perhaps like you, one of my 'love languages' is affection...and I want G to 'talk to me' tell me how much he loves me and cares about me blah blah blah.
In times of stress I am NEVER gonna get the talk. The talk is going to be bad.
But he expresses his love by doing things for me...buying PRACTICAL gifts. And even in the hard times in the relationship...he will do those things.
Look for THOSE kinds of signs. Train him later.
It works. I've done it.
I get those words, the romance, the real giving, now, in return..
