Wednesday Kind of Love

If any of you are like me then many of you are out there wondering…how do I tell my partner that I want something for Valentine’s Day without actually asking for it?

Let me be the first to tell you that you should absolutely not have to tell your partner what they should do for you. They know you! They (supposedly) love you! That, above all else, means that they should know exactly what makes your heart sing.

But let’s say they might get it wrong. Maybe they’ve even got it wrong in the past. This does not mean they do not love you. It does mean that you might have to go above and beyond by dropping subtle hints that could steer them in the direction of your desires.

For example, let’s say you’re watching television together and a fast food commercial comes on featuring chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla milkshakes. “Oh, those look good,” will help remind your partner that you love chocolate and alert them that they should purchase you a large, heart-shaped box of chocolates.

Let’s say you’re on a walk together and you notice dog tracks in the snow. “Looks like a furry friend was here,” you might mutter. This will indicate that they should purchase a stuffed bear.

Let’s say you’re at the grocery store and pass by the flowers. Think really, really hard about how bad you want one specific bouquet. Your partner should know to purchase that one.

I know this can be a stressful time but hopefully these tips will help you remember: the best relationships are those that require no communication at all.

Love and light to you and yours.
