I guarantee you it will be revelatory.

Unfortunately, it was really hard for me to pick between some of the two choices based on my relationship with my W over the last 15 or so years. I need to relearn some of the stuff that I really want versus what I really don’t want. but the results I can still agree with overall. I wonder if I get into a healthier relationship and take the test again how my results would differ. Or take the test after I read the book, to see how much the results would differ.

My top two (quality time and physical touch) were not being met with W
Yes this dynamic is generally what lands people here. She wasn’t meeting your needs so you weren’t motivated to meet hers. The resentment builds on both ends and it’s just a matter of time before someone pulls the rip cord first. This dynamic is something to keep in mind in your future relationships.

Just remember to be brutally honest with your assessment of your LL.

Any guy that isn't gettin' laid will tell you that his LL is Physical touch... right until you realize that it's probably not...

It's a Mars/Venus thing. That for intimacy, Men have to feel the physical to become emotional, and it is the opposite for our Superior counterparts where they have to feel the emotional before they can truly enjoy the physical aspect of intimacy.

So, be brutally honest with your results. Absorb what it means to you, cause I'm gonna throw you a curveball in a couple weeks with it...

When you have someone that speaks the same love language as you do it is really great.

Something I didn't understand or realize when I was in your shoes.

I highly recommend "parenting with love and logic". Lots of the methods were great. Slip that into your "soon to read" pile.
