Respect in a relationship
My girlfriend and I have been together for just over 3 years, and I feel like I don’t respect her enough. She feels like I only care about her physical body, and not about her as a whole person. Deep down I fully care about her as a whole person, but I know that my actions make her feel that way. What are some ways / ideas that I can show her that her entire being is meaningful to me and not just her physical body? (I can explain more if needed)
Heyy
I think you should spend more quality time with her, ask her about how her day was going, share your thoughts together, give her reassurance that you love her and that she means everything to you, check on her mental health and ask if everything is going okay or not, do acts of service for her to make her feel appreciated and cared about, like cooking, gift giving, cuddling, etc..
Thank you for the response. I will definitely spend more of the time we do spend together as quality time. Today we cooked dinner together and had a nice relaxing day. I’ll try to have more daily check-ins with her about how her day is without it being annoying.
I’m a bit confused with what you’re asking. She thinks you don’t respect her enough. So you’re asking what you can do to show her that her whole being is meaningful to you. If respect is what she’s asking for, showing her you care for her won’t solve that. Can you clarify that?
To answer your question for what it is, ask her what her love language is. Then you’ll know exactly what to do to show her.
Thanks for the response. I meant what are some ideas / suggestions on like how I can show that I do respect her if that makes sense. Yeah I’ll learn more about love language and apply that as well.
