How is your s/o with telling you they appreciate the little things you do?
Mine is a very macho man who isn''t very good at saying those things, and I find myself having to read between the lines quite a bit. Example - I send him little 1 or 2 sentence emails during the day at work. He only responds about 1/2 the time. So I just figured I was bugging him while he was preoccupied with work, and that he didn''t really care if I sent them or not. So I quit. Then I hear "well gee, I haven''t heard from you at all today..."
I really dislike reading between the lines, but he''s just not good at coming out and saying "I like it when ____". This happens with a lot of small things. My ex, on the other hand - was really good at saying when he appreciated something. So this is very different. Is it a manly macho thing, or what?
