At the same time one of the things that she told me early on was that I didn't show her that I loved her and she felt abandoned. It is something that I know I need to work on.
Cyclone,
Have you read the 5 love languages book? What is your LL and what is your W?
Quote:
Growing up I didn't have a role model of displays of affection and my W needs this from me. I see now that i've never really initiated that sort of affection, I've just responded to it. I want to work on changing that but feel that it is still too soon and would be too much pressure. I have been taking more opportunities for casual touches
I am going to guess that yours is touch. But are you sure that your W is the same? Maybe not. Maybe you need to express this in other ways.
If I am way off base here feel free to correct me.
