I almost broke up over a love Language

I almost broke up w/my bf because his love language isn’t words of affirmation.

He didn’t shower me with compliments and validation…so I was convinced that he didn’t love me as much as I loved him.

(And I didn’t want to tell him to do so…because of course I’d think, “Oh he’s just saying that to please me, he doesn’t mean it.” 🙄)*

And I felt so sad, so hopeless, yearning for him to say something flattering and loving…and he kept talking about mythology, history, and films… EVERYTHING except how much he loves me.

---

Now he fully expresses how much he loves me everyday.

I feel secure, in love, fulfilled — and I feel more attractive and happy than ever before.

And… he hasn’t changed at all.

The only thing that changed is that I now have a self-love IDENTITY.

I honestly don’t ever think about, miss, or yearn for words of affirmation anymore.

Of course they’re nice!…but now I fully receive and appreciate all the ways he’s ALWAYS shown how much he loves me (quality time & acts of service)

…I was previously just too much in survival mode, lacking self-love, to fully see or receive it.

This is just one of many seemingly big, dramatic relationship problems that simply went away.

If you’re uncertain about whether you should stay or go,

confused as to whether there really is a big relationship problem

…or if it’s your own insecurity and emotions distorting everything…

building your own identity of self-love reveals all the answers.

If you’re curious about how it can transform your own relationship, come book a self-love strategy session.

*this was MY personal issue, and not meant to say that you shouldn’t tell your partner what love language you’d prefer! Every situation is unique :)
