She's the type that is constantly looking for affirmation. She tells me she loves me multple times throughout the day, looking to hear me say it back. If I'm DBing what do I say to her when she says "I love you"?
I think this need for outside affirmation is what fuels the A. I suspect it started about 3 yrs ago when we were both very busy finishing academic programs and raising a new child. I was too tired and busy to supply all the affection and reassurance she needs, which is a lot, due to her having had a difficult childhood with abusive parents. Now she's hooked on getting her affirmation from the OM.
