My wife wants to separate

[SM34]

OK I have finished reading the 5LL. Here is my conclusion:

My primary love language is "Words of Affirmation". At some point in our relationship, my wife began to not tell me how smart I am. She used to call me a genius when we met! My parents even commented when they met her about how she had told them your son is a genius, he is so smart. During the difficult times of my business, my wife began to cut back on those words, and even sometimes give some negative ones. She is not rude, but through offering her advise on what I was doing wrong, she was making me feel less loved.

My wife's primary love language is "Physical Touch". She always wanted to hold my hand or hug, or kiss in public. I did not grow up around parents who engaged in public displays of affection and so I always felt awkward. Also, after working a long day when i came home I never really made an effort to give my wife a nice big hug or sit next to her and hold her hand.

So both of us have a low love tank. But more importantly at this point, is how I can show my wife love, in her love language when I cannot touch her? What a predicament! Had her love language been words of affirmation, or act of service, it would be much easier at this point. I AM SCREWED!! PLEASE HELP!!
