The only good use of the love language thing is to use it to tune into how your partner is already showing their love for you. The people who turn it into conflict fuel are morons.

Where I got married asked folks to do a marriage preparation course. That was the first place I heard of the love language thing at all. You ranked things that were important to you. It all seemed fairly sensible and you know it does give you some insights into yourself and your partner. But then I came on here and see everyone seems to hate them which was initially quite confusing because it seemed totally harmless. But then you read the insane love language stories and it all begins to fall into place. Like in that one, she describes that he like physical touch, but all her examples of showing that she loves him are her buying him things, she does try to say she caters to him as well but without much in the way of examples.

It's supposed to be a simple way to explain why different people in a relationship value different expressions of love.

Like a guy might fix his wife's car to show he cares where a woman might buy a birthday card. A new coat of paint to the "Women are from Venus" line of thinking.

It should be used to foster communication between two people and allow them to make a bit of effort to understand what their partner wants while understanding their gestures have equal value.

Of course it's quickly gotten to 'my love language is to be completely catered to every second' or the other extreme 'his love language is loving all my friends how do we resolve this while respecting his boundaries'

My(31F) Boyfriend (32M) texts me that he wants to have sex with his friend

quote:

New boyfriend of two weeks, 32M, 31F. We had exclusive conversations about our status before getting into a relationship. I made it clear I wanted monogamy, he claimed that's exactly what he wants too. We agreed if we wanted to do threesomes, we'd need to talk extensively about it and set strict and clear boundaries, and LATER on in the relationship.

Well my bf just TEXTS me if it's okay if he messes around sexually with his friend while hanging out. I told him if that's what he wants, then he should go ahead but then we'll have to break up, because Ist of all, too early in the relationship for that. 2nd, we need to talk about it AND establish boundaries, 3rd, I'm not even there nor have I ever met this said friend. 4th, that doesn't sound like monogamy. I'm furious at this point because this is clearly not a text message conversation. And we literally just had a conversation about this topic. He then says I'm "loving nuts" for being upset and wanting to throw away the relationship and he's sorry he even asked. That he was being considerate by asking for my permission. Mind you, this happened at midnight, he KNOWS I work at 630am.

I'm I crazy for being furious? Is this not wrong in ALL LEVELS? I need honest opinions please! Because I'm ready to walk away from this non-existent relationship. He presented himself as this super sweet guy, and he has been up until yesterday. I just want to know if I'm the only one who thinks this is BS and warrants a breakup!

Tl;DR : boyfriend of two weeks texts me to tell me he wants to have sex with his friend and thinks I'm nuts for being upset or wanting to breakup

I have no mouth and I must post
My husband [27M] spends all his time drawing and no time for us [25F], I’m not sure how to approach this

quote:

We’ve been married for a year and a half and together for about 4 for context.

I’m not sure how I can approach this because I know he’s always been very passionate about art but we just haven’t been spending time together at all as of late, we practically only see each other when we have dinner and go to bed; he wakes up before me, goes off to work as I’m just getting up at like 7am, comes back around 6pm and then plops down infront of his desk and draws till 11pm. Weekends we used to go out in but as of the last few months he’s insisted that he spends it at home, again, drawing.

The reason for this is because there’s been an increase in people’s interest in his work and he feels the need to keep putting out to meet the demand, he’s also been taking lots of commissions from people online and some projects.
Thing is, he doesn’t need to do all this, he works as an engineer and makes three times an average household doing so. I could quit my job and it would barely hurt our finances. But he insists on doing it either way even though what he currently makes from his commissions and work is barely anything at all.
There’s also the annoying fact that he’s always secretive about the stuff he draws, like sometimes I want to see what he spends all his time doing but he just keeps hiding it or refusing to show me, apparently he hates showing people his stuff in-person and tells me that only a handful of people who have seen his stuff know him by his actual name.

I get that it’s his passion and all and I want to see him happy but he never wants to leave the house and we barely spend any time together anymore and I just don’t know how to approach it.

tldr: Husband now spends all his time either drawing or at work, he doesn’t need to do it as we already have our finances in check, and we barely see each other in a day anymore. I know he’s passionate but I just don’t know how to handle this.

Lol your boyfriend is drawing furries loving.

Yes but let's look at what he LIKES. When I asked, he said he misses my long hair and the times that I wore dresses. I asked him about an outfit of mine that he enjoys and he mentioned a VERY highly femininely coded outfit I wore in college. I guess I just thought he was a bit more progressive than that. Apparently his "tastes" just jive with the patriarchal implications of femme-bodied presentation abit too well...

i mean if she's using words like "femme" and "presentation" in this context she's maybe just got some more complicated gender situation going on and denies it/doesn't know it yet right

"myclothesmybody" is pretty lol though, like some "first amendment means you can't be mad at what i say" poo poo

It even seems a little demanding depending on who is meant to be ringing it, like, if one partner buys it for the other to ring vs if one partner buys it and says "ok, when I ring this it's gently caress time and you come running, teehee, what a fun gift"

Either way I don't think anybody is actually using the sex bell and I don't think it's worth putting in a big list of Love Gifts
