Episode notes
Ask For The Words You Need
- Tell your partner that hearing "I love you" matters to you and ask about his relationship to those words.
- Either say it first or have a direct, honest conversation before moving in together.
Words Aren't The Only Proof
- People inherit family cultures about saying "I love you," so lack of words doesn't equal lack of love.
- Observe actions as well as language when assessing someone's affection.
Separate Chemistry From Beauty Standards
- Distinguish physical chemistry from cultural standards of beauty before deciding to stay.
- If basic sexual attraction is missing after time, consider ending the romance rather than pretending.
