[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, coming on here, you are going to have an audience of a lot of tired parents who are exhausted from tending to the needs of their children, running a household, taking care of a home, taking care of their aging parents, taking care of their community, while living up to society’s expectations that not only are you supposed to have a thriving career, but you are somehow also supposed to be a great parent who is present and available and supportive and encouraging in all the ways that their parents were not.

And the last thing we need as that parent is another person in our life who is supposed to be our partner in all things, to expect something else from us.  I think you are fine- I don’t think there’s anything wrong with wanting/needing to have love expressed to you verbally.  But for many people’s lived experience, I think that ends up mattering less than showing up every day, for your family, in all of the different ways.

If you recognize that as a dealbreaker for you, you should seek out someone who is very expressive to those they love. It is rare but they are definitely out there![/quote]

And to add… I don’t think you can necessarily conclude your love language is verbal expression of love. It may be that you are just feeling uncertain and insecure in your relationship- which is natural in the beginning of a relationship but there could me many other factors causing that uncertainty.[/quote]
