“I don’t often tell my partner I love her. She knows it.”
That could be true. I suppose. But I started to wonder how he knows she knows it — and whether she says she knows it, or feels it, or wants to hear it anyway. Some people hold to the theory that when you DO things to show your love you don’t have to say it and that should be “enough.” And by extension if you say it but don’t do things which show it, that’s not good for a partnership, because just the words aren’t enough either. And hinally you can’t always rely on your partner to tell you what they want to hear in your words or see in your behavior. They just get pissed when you can’t higure it out. Mind reading is not something I cover in this book or program.
While we are on the topic, we might also fail to express appreciation and gratitude to our partner. People become disappointed when they feel they are unappreciated. When I listen to people talk about why their relationships have failed, “I felt unappreciated,” is almost pretty close to the top of the disappointment list.
It is important to be grateful and it is important to acknowledge gratitude. Acknowledging gratitude expresses “thanks for the thanks.”
