Do you know if you significant other feel the love you have for him/her? I have seen it a lot that couples love each other but feel unloved just because they dont know how to express it properly. I mean that the wife loves her hubby but hubby does not get the vibes and vice versa, because the life is so mechanical that they dont know when and how to express love.
How do you take time out of your mechanical life to make sure that your partner knows that you love him/her?
Of course, we tell each other we love each other multiple times a day and we both know we mean it 100%. I sometimes dont get as expressive as him but he knows how much he means to me and vice versa.
That is what I meant. I am not talking about verbal "i love you", but through the constant caring and gestures.
That too, it's to the point where we both know no one can really be that loving and caring towards us than we can be to each other. Aside from our moms maybe, lol. It's the best feeling in the world, tbh.
OK to add my two cents. I am not sure if I improved or she gave up but she always expressed concern that I dont compliment/appreciate her enough. I hope that I improved cause she does not say it no more. :(
What Hareem said.
I think its not just cooking, cleaning, taking care of your spouse's need that is enough. Ever since we had a baby we don't have time for each other. By that I mean, a romantic evening, dinner, dressing up for each other. I am always looking after baby, my husband's need, ironing his clothes, cooking, cleaning but I've started thinking that this is just not enough. I miss our good times together, when we used to go in the middle of the night to watch a movie, go for a dinner etc. Now its always daily stuff that actually shows we care for each other but this simply isn't enough.
^ this is exactly what I am saying. We all get so mechanical that all the sweetness/caring is almost gone from life. But I think its as important as changing babies diapers for our spouses to know that we love them, and every human needs a constant reminder.
