He mentioned lately that he feels I am not showing him signs of love. He felt unloved. I tried to understand that this was connected to the love languages and should not be taken too personally.
I am quite a lazy person. I can let laundry baskets sit at the edge of my bed for months. I admit to being a "soaker" when it comes to cleaning dishes. I tend to forget to sweep the floors or scrub the bath. These are all things Andrew takes cares of. It's his way of showing me he loves me. He'll clean my car and make me lunch for school. It's incredibly sweet and I've learned to recognize this as his way of showing me he cares. He, however, does not buy me flowers or plan out dates.
This use to bother me. I've learned to accept his sweet actions for sweet words. I, on the other hand, love to plan out events for us to share together or buy him his favorite food or dessert. He thinks nothing of this. I'm a big birthday person too. I love to go all out for it when I can afford to. I had planned out a day in the woods for his birthday. We would hike and make lunch over a fire. Some of his favorite stuff, grilled cheese sandwiches, parmesan basil tomato soup, and homemade mulled wine. Small but effective. However, it was raining, I was sick, and he didn't feel incredibly energetic. So we went to the movies instead. I think we saw Hunger Games 3? Yes. He actually likes this series. I felt terrible because I felt I let him down. He didn't care at all. He doesn't make a big deal out of birthdays.
In order for him to feel more loved, I've been more attentive with the household chores around the house. I've been cleaning and I HATE cleaning. Yes, I do feel better after all the things are in their place but I hate cleaning. I wish I didn't but I do. And because I couldn't buy him a birthday present, I'm getting his present a little late. Oculus Rift. YEAH BABY!

He talked about wanting one of these for months. It wasn't cheap neither. At $350 a pop it's a pricey gift he asked for. He hardly asks for gifts or, for that matter, anything. So, when he asks for something, I feel he should get it. He deserves it. Yes, it's one of my love languages but I just want him to enjoy something for fun. He needs to
I can't wait for him to open his present! Ironically, it may arrive around my birthday. I can't ask for anything more than to see his face light up. Now, I shall do some gaming investigation. Only the best games for my green eyes. I can't say I'm not a little excited too...
