Tender Loving Care is a necessary ingredient for a healthy relationship. Expressing love and affection physically, emotionally, sexually, mentally and through your love language to each other boosts your connection. In the absence of these, you'd notice a glitch in your communication and everything else. Here are some signs to show that your partner needs more affection:
They're Constantly Asking For Attention
Sometimes your partner can ask for attention in various ways. When you have noticed that they seek your attention, showing bouts of love and affection can help them close the empty gaps in their minds.
Additionally, while you're learning to be attending, look out for occasions when your spouse needs time to soothe or calm their emotions.
They're Moody
It's normal to feel moody from time to time. However, when your partner gets moody frequently, they need more TLC. Also, if there are chances that you speak (especially since there are cases where they don't want to talk), ensure to create an atmosphere comfortable enough for them to express themselves.
It Feels Like You're Both Distant
Early stages of your relationship most times translates to more attention. This period entails more special days and dates. The mid stages represent a more secure space. Sometimes, the amount of attention is lesser than in the early stages.
It is completely different when your communication levels are separate from normal, or you feel a disconnection between you and your partner.
Your Partner Is Looking To Their Friends For Nurturing And Understanding
When your partner is meeting up with friends for TLC or talking to them a lot more than they talk to you, it's a sign that something's wrong. Retrace your steps with more time together and expressing the love language best understood by both of you.
They Just Experienced A Loss
A loss can be anything from losing a person to something very precious. At this point, you should be there for them, giving hugs and speaking kind words. They may need time, space or privacy to process their healing.
Understanding this and still being open to giving random cuddles, kisses and stepping into the role of a comforter.
