Yeah its deffo come up before, gets addressed for a few weeks then sort of falls apart, which is fine cause the need is addressed but in a few months I’ll need it again and we just kind of spiral.

I feel sad you have to ask for a hug but if you don’t communicate with your partner then they don’t know what you want.

Also important to recognise you might have different “love languages”… Might be physical touch and theirs might be words of affirmation… Which is the case for us. I actually need to remind myself that my partner needs me to hug her…

Yeah that is so true. Also don’t forget to make each other laugh.

oh its totally this. I think maybe I just need to take the lead on some of this stuff to reminder her in a non verbal way.
