Saying “I love you” might be the simplest way to show someone you care, but it’s not the only way. Every person has a different way of showing how they feel. Some people talk, but others use movements and body language more. Your partner may not show love in the same way that you do, which can make you feel worried about your relationship and less wanted.
Bright Side has found 6 ways that people show their love for their partners without saying anything, and we’ve figured out what they mean.
1. They listen to what you say like it’s your private journal.
If your partner is willing to listen to you and support you when you are happy or sad, it shows that they are a good listener and that they value trust in your relationship. By letting you blow off steam, your partner is trying to make your relationship better and more honest.
They like to cuddle just as much as you do.
When you’re in love, one of the best parts of being with someone is touching. If your partner likes to cuddle as much as you do, it means that they enjoy spending time with you and also value closeness in your relationship. Not only that, but random kisses on the face and hugs on the back are also ways that people try to show you how important they think you are without actually saying it.
3. They give you the push you need to reach your goals.
Being with someone doesn’t mean you have to be with them all the time or text them all the time. At the end of the day, you are each your own person with your own hopes and dreams. If your partner tells you to spend more time on your goals instead of complaining that you don’t spend enough time on them, that means they value personal space. Understanding that your partner has their own life and dreams is a sign of maturity and real love.
They help you with things around the house.
If your partner doesn’t mind if you do the laundry every other day or do regular chores, that’s a sign that they see you as their equal, their other half. It’s hard to find someone who wants a relationship to be fair, so if you’ve found the one, don’t let them go!
They don’t mind telling their loved ones about you.
If your partner talks about you to their friends and family, that’s the obvious sign that they’re not messing around with you. If your partner doesn’t mind telling other people about you, it means they care about loyalty and are with you for the right reasons. They think you have a bright future.
6. They do PDA every time you two go out.
It’s fine for your partner to show love in public once in a while, but if they do it all the time, it could be a sign that something is wrong. Wanting to show off your relationship to other people is a sign of nervousness, and if your partner can’t keep their hands off you, even in public, it could mean they are lusting after you.
