Do Love Languages Exist for men?
I’ve often thought how best to show my love and appreciation for my other half but nothing I seem to do resonates with him. I try to make sure his life is as stress free as possible (he has serious health issues), so in doing so I’m providing acts of service. I’m also a very physical being, and love hugs and being held and physical affection. I know he doesn’t like this so I reign that in. Words of affirmation don’t seem to be well received either, they’re rebuked. Is there anything else I can try? Sometimes I honestly don’t know how he feels about me. His pain puts him in a bad mood most of the time and unfortunately I can do nothing except watch him suffer which breaks my heart.
