Dear Happy,
thank you for writing to me and thank you for being so open.
It is superb that you are clearly aware of your love languages.
As you know we cannot change anyone else, but, you can ask for what you want from your husband. Have you done that? I refer to asking him to consciously touch you more often.
You also asked “Can you help me to handle the days when I can feel the resentment building?”
The answer is simple – speak with your husband to find out why physical touch is not one of his languages i.e. how was he raised – was his mother and father affectionate to him and to each other or not?
The understanding might help you to release the resentment. Also, do you initiate touch with him? Has anyone spoken with him to understand the power of touching a woman without it leading to sex?
Are you affectionate to your son?
I hope this helps for a starter.
All the best,
Patrick

Hello! I am an avid reader of your blog – I’ve had it bookmarked for years, and I have often shared your entries with my husband and my son (the two people I love most!).

This post really resonated with me. I adore my husband and am very happily married. However, my #1 love language, Physical Touch, is his least important one (his #5)! My #2 is a tie between Quality Time and Words of Affirmation – these are his #1 and #2, respectively.

Please give me tips on how to handle this gap. Thanks to my parents, especially my wonderful dad who taught me about love and communication, I believe I am “multilingual” when it comes to the Love Languages – it is no problem for me to give the types of love most desired by my husband and son and dearest friends. My husband, on the other hand…I know he loves me, he really does, but sometimes I just feel so starved for physical touch and affection, and I hate to be the one asking nearly all the time.

Can you help me to handle the days when I can feel the resentment building? Other than this, I am truly fortunate and blessed.

Thank you and God bless you for your wonderful work!

Happy but Needs LOTS of Hugs & Kisses
