Thank you {{{SuperDave}}}, {{{hairdog}}} (WOA for my graphs) and {{{honeypot}}} (WOA on my advice)! It's very true that WOA can come from anywhere but PT only from your spouse. That was a driving force of my careerpath... I craved praise for a job well done - and not getting it sometimes left me feeling bitter for putting extra effort or time in and unappreciated.
Okay, so I am late joining in. Mine I'm HD. 1. Quality time (that is the one where you are doing stuff together). 2. Physical Touch: from gentle cuddling to you Tarzan me Jane. 3. Words: only the real stuff please. 4. Service: I prefer to give service. 5. Gifts: I don't really like getting gifts the hidden strings can be deadly. But I love to give gifts.
H 1. Service 2. Gifts 3. Quality time 4. Physical Touch 5. Words
Just guessing with him going by his actions and comments he thinks I'm lying if I praise him and he hurts so much he cringes when I come in too fast looking for a hug.
Aquarian, Could you change the graphs to reflect my changed view of my lovely LDW's LLs. I said she was Gifts and Quality time but after some thought and talking to her about it I think she is: Quality time Physical Touch (in an LD sort of way) Thanks, SD
QualityTime Touch Words of Affirmation acts of service gifts
interestingly enough, although i rank touch as number 1 and acts of service quite low...i seem to give opposite feeback to W on these items. She says i barely acknowledge physical touch (although i'm wondering if this may be touch avoidance because of SSM issues), but do make a fuss over gifts or acts of service.
