It's important that you receive love in the way that you individually need, so here are some ways to effectively communicate that to your partner. :)

Hello hello - today’s video is all about communicating your needs in an effective way to your partner. As we've talked about many times on this channel, communication is the make or break for any type of relationship (romantic, platonic, etc.) so it's crucial that we learn how to do this! We all have different love languages and ideas of feeling cherished by our partner, so I'm here to help you figure out what your individual needs are and articulate it to the person you love. Also, remember that your needs are always valid, and you may just be with someone who is incapable of meeting them at this point in their life. A wise person once said: you can be the full package but be at the wrong address!

As a Therapist, this phrase was gold for my patients: "Is not you against your partner, it is you both against the problem". Thank you so much

I just got out of a relationship with a girl who didn’t communicate her needs (apart from the bedroom stuff). She wanted me to text her more and come up with adventurous date ideas but expected me to just know. She broke up with me and told me this only after the fact. Had she told be before, we’d still be together.

Yeah, love it. Simple and sweet. The problem is that only people who have matured enough can accept this. The majority does exactly the opposite, and they cannot receive this.

This helped a lot. I didn’t think to tell my previous partner that I needed to be loved in my love languages. I felt so dissatisfied in the relationship cause I like to receive small gifts from time to time. I would literally shower him in gifts all the time until I felt depleted cause I wasn’t receiving anything back from him. He just had this excuse that it was difficult to get gifts for me because there was so much stuff I wanted. Not that I’m materialistic or anything but I was like “at least it’s better than not knowing what I want at all.” I broke up with him not too long ago and said we need some self work to do. We were so good at communicating in the beginning of our relationship but it faded over time. I started to bottle things up from feeling unsatisfied. It’s so weird cause he was an amazing guy overall. Maybe that’s why my love for him started to fade??? 🤔

I can see parts of this video applying to me and other parts applying to my gf.

Definitely agree with you! ❤️ avoiding “you always” “you never” phrases are what I’d do too, every confrontation, fight or discussion because it feels like an attack. I need to be clearer with my communication because I struggle to communicate my emotions clearly and asserting my own boundaries, I’m still trying to figure out what I need in both friendships and relationships to balance it out with their love language and way of being and seeing if we’re compatible. I’m very young so I’m also figuring myself out haha

lanz mac donald... i always tell him im sorry and i will change when i make a mistake. but then sometimes i fumble and make the mistake again... im really trying not to and i dont want to lose him and i dont want expiry date or anything... when u said "people can only meet u as far as u can meet urself". my mistake was that he told me talking to me feels like a brick wall bc i always change the subject when hes talking abt stuff he likes. so i tried to fix it and i think i do now... but why was i struggling with that? bc i dont meet myself with stuff i am interest in?? i really want to work on myself . and he doesnt like to spend time apart bc he says then people will just cheat in spending time apart so that wont work...

wow, it's very impressive: People can only meet you as far as they've met themselves.

This was very helpful. What is upsetting is having someone for years not change and start to change when there other options dry up and you are ready to leave. I will be keeping this information to mind.

Wow wow wow. Thank you so much this was so helpful. I feel like i need help being able to communicate my needs.
