Hey Ahoy, one thing I've heard about LL during NC is that you can still demonstrate those changes by giving hem to others. Since you have a D this is perfect.

For example, my STBX's LL is gifts/acts of service. Particularly with things that involve thought and consideration. So I can do things for my children that demonstrate those changes. I recently took them on a boat ride and the captain of the ship gave each of them a silver dollar. They thought that was great. I knew if I let them keep them they would just get lost or spent, so I scooped them up. I'm going to get a picture of them in the boat and have it framed with the silver dollars underneath. Still working on the details but the point is that it will show I am capable of meeting those types of needs. Much more importantly I will be doing something special and memorable for my children, and growing personally in my ability to share the love in my heart.

How can you show physical affection to your D in ways that may be noticed? Give her long hugs when you first see her? Book an appointment at a spa and both get a massage that she can't help but talking about? Put you arm around her or ruffle her hair more often when you're just sitting together?

Give it some thought. Make the changes for you and those you care about. If your H gets jealous that's just gravy.
