[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a woman and it's acts of service.  E.g. I will cook your favorite meal when I know you had an exhausting day and you will scrape the snow off my car in the morning. 
It seems that this love language is rarer than the others[/quote]

Lol. This is my husband's and it's annoying. I like presents and sweet words, not somebody fixing the garbage disposal. If I need a plumber I will call one. I am a gift giver and [b]he hates it.[/b] Thinks I am just creating clutter.[/quote]

Umm... If you know he hates it, why do you buy him gifts? You want to show him you love him by doing stuff he hates??? Mkay...[/quote]

No, the point is that once I became aware that buying him stuff did not, in fact, make him feel love, I stopped doing it.  He feels love when you spend time with him.  I figured out that there were weekends when he would do yard stuff and then come in and explain that he felt exploited and unloved and that what he really wanted was for me (literally) to sit in a lawn chair in the yard reading a book and just being there while he trimmed the bushes or whatever.  He just wanted me around.  Turns out I can do that!

He will occasionally buy me a cheap bouquet from Lidl or Aldi now because he knows that I care about that stuff.  Still the world's worst gift giver of surprise items.  However, I recently discovered the Fab Fit Fun box so 4 times a year I get a little surprise with thoughtful items picked out by someone else.  Works for us![/quote]
