Yuss and I definitely recommend looking up and studying the five love languages! There’s a whole movie called that too I think lmao. But the theory is that there are five ways people use to show their love to someone AND how they may expect love to be shown to them.
Having two characters with different personal love languages can lead to some nice misunderstandings and drama. It happens in real life ALL the time.
In example, I expect you to show your love by giving me gifts. It can be anything, flowers and chocolates or just some nice letters about your thoughts. Possibly, this is something I observed by parents doing when I was growing up OR maybe from movies or something. Either way, gifting is my love language and I may even go out of my way to give you gifts.
HOWEVER, you may have a different love language and have different expectations. Maybe you think that talking about your day and sharing experiences is how you show your love and you expect it shown back. If I don’t know this and don’t see the value in maybe “bothering you” with these experiences, you may think either I don’t love you OR that there’s something wrong in that you’re not trustworthy enough for my stories. X3 And you can already guess how it can go if you don’t give me gifts all the time OR don’t accept my gifts.
The relationship is basically fine, except the two people didn’t know about each other’s love language and expected everyone else’s love language to be the exact same as theirs.
