While you may know how much you love your partner, it may not always be evident to them. Some people may require more reassurance than others in regard to how much they are cared for. If you usually find it difficult to express your emotions safely, or at all, you might want to consider some of the different ways that you can show your partner that you love them, without making yourself feel too uncomfortable or out of your depth.
One of the ways that many men, and women, can show their partner love can be through the level of commitment they make to the relationship. If you are happy with your partner, you might want to think about whether marriage could be in your future. At the same time, you may also want to see if there are any signs that they would like you to present them with an engagement ring, or start discussing whether marriage is an option. For some couples, this could occur many years down the line. Yet, with others, it may only take a matter of months, or a couple of years at most, for both parties to realise that they are with the person they want to spend their life with. Proposing shouldn’t be something that you do flippantly. From here, your partner might expect you to follow through with the commitment you have made.
Another way you can show your commitment and care for your partner can be through the effort you make with her friends. For many people, their friends can be an important part of life. Therefore, they may want you to be able to get on with them so that they can spend time with you all at once. If you were to refuse to engage with their friends, or not get on at all, this could cause a lot of stress for your partner. Therefore, the next time your partner discusses inviting her friends around, you may want to consider being present and spending time with them, if it is appropriate to do so. Likewise, she may then be more likely to also engage with your friends. The same can also be applied to spending time with her family as well.
You might also want to consider giving your partner more physical affection if this is something they enjoy. While kisses and snuggling up might not be important to you, it may be a way that they feel loved. Spending an extra minute giving them a cuddle before you get up, or even making sure you give them a kiss when you get in each day, could make quite a difference. At the same time, if possible, you may even want to think about dropping them messages throughout the day to let them know they are in your thoughts.
Showing your partner that they are loved can help to build up their confidence, both in themselves and in your relationship. This may involve both small and large changes on your part that, hopefully, they will reciprocate.
