When your partner fills your water bottle, cleans the kitchen, or handles something you've been dreading — THAT is love. Actions over words, always. You show love by doing, not saying. You notice effort immediately and you notice laziness even faster. For you, 'I'll take care of it' is the most romantic sentence in any language.
People think this is shallow. It's not. You don't want expensive things — you want proof that someone thought about you when you weren't there. A wildflower picked on a walk. A screenshot of something that 'reminded me of you.' The thing itself doesn't matter. What matters is the message behind it: 'I saw this and I saw you.' Forgotten birthdays and thoughtless holidays don't just disappoint you — they wound you.
